Shedding

March 30, 2007 9:18am CST
Have your pets started shedding for the summer yet? One of my cats is moulting like mad! We've been hoovering and brushing her everyday but the house and furniture are still covered and when you stroke her a cloud of fluff comes away! I hope she finishes soon!

Take a damp tea towel and rub the cat down. It helps take out a lot of loose hair. I have a 14 year old long hairded tabby and I use this on her all the time and have never had a major shedding problem.

Totally forgot to say that the person that said to give a wet down with a cloth is right :-) It helps tremendously.

I don't think my cat seems to be shedding any more than usual. She doesn't shed too much, though we do spot clumps of her fur hear and there every so often. She's a short hair and has the most amazingly glossy black coat, with cute iccle white feet, and a white belly & chin (which is really fluffy!). I make the mistake of picking her up in the morning before work wearing a white shirt! Bad idea!

Awe baby kitkat! I'm sure I've already seen a picture of her at some point but she sounds so cute! I wear mostly black clothing and Voodoo is mainly white with a tabby harness. I'm always forgetting and getting covered in white fluff!

My cats do not shed any more then usual in the s[ring. I have to clean up cat hair off things every day this is a normal thing in my house hold. I have seven cats so do the math not a fun job.

Voodoo is short hair too, but she still seems to be shedding enough to make an entire new cat!

I have 3 cats and they all shedd bad during the spring/summer times. It's crazy. I give them a good brushing at least once a week and they get a bath once every 2-3 weeks. It's the only way to somewhat control it for my cats.

I've been trying to brush them more often but once they see the brush all they want to do it chew it! I have to sneak it up on them!
