Our cat constantly sheds. Is there something wrong with him?
Answer
Hair shedding is considered a sign of health in the cat - sick cats don’t shed. Although the excessive hair around the house can be a nuisance, consider it a sign of your cat’s good health. To reduce the amount of hair shed on furniture and your household surroundings, comb your cat daily with an appropriate comb or brush. Your veterinarian can recommend one of the many types that is suitable for your cat.
