Shedding is a natural process in cats. Sometimes there is a lot of pet hair in the house.
Why does a cat shed
A pet's fur acts as a fur coat in winter, as it reliably retains heat.
Shedding in spring and summer is a natural process characteristic of all animals covered with fur.
The essence of the process is to replace old dead hairs with new ones.
Cats need shedding so that their fur coat is evenly renewed and is always clean and retains heat and cool well in hot weather.
Sometimes the causes of molting can be disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, lack of vitamins and microelements in the diet, poor nutrition, poisoning and intoxication.
If you notice changes in your pet, consult your veterinarian.
What to do to prevent a cat from shedding
To help your cat shed less, it is important to brush your pet daily using a special comb, slicker brush or furminator.
If your cat doesn't like a metal toothed comb, try brushing with a silicone glove or other methods.
