It is simply impossible to imagine cats without shedding. There are breeds in which this process is not so pronounced. And sometimes the opposite happens.
But don't think that the intensity of shedding depends on the amount and length of fur. Here are the 10 most shedding cat breeds.
Siberian
The fur coat of this breed is considered the most luxurious, and the hair can be medium or long. In addition, cats have a double undercoat, which becomes thicker in winter. You will have to comb your pets several times a week, and every day during shedding.
Neva Masquerade
This is a relative of the Siberian cat. It sheds almost all year round, but most actively from February to April and from September to November. It is not enough to comb them. You need to wash them with a special shampoo, and then rinse them with water and lemon juice.
American Bobtail
If these are long-haired representatives of the breed, then the shedding process is active. Owners will have to buy a brush with natural bristles, and in the area of the cat's tail, it is generally better to trim it - for hygiene.
British
Both short-haired and long-haired representatives shed, and all because of the lush undercoat. These cats cannot be washed often, you will have to comb them at least 1-2 times a week with a soft brush.
Pixiebob
The breed is artificially bred. Shorthaired cats shed moderately. Semi-longhaired cats shed actively. They will have to be combed daily with a soft brush. The cat is bathed once every 6 months.
Cymric
They have a thick and plush fur coat. The breed is combed 2-3 times a week in a normal situation. If shedding has begun - every day. Loves water very much, but you can bathe with special products.
Persian
They have thick and long fur, reaching 12 cm. Special care is needed here, otherwise tangles cannot be avoided. You will have to comb the cat every day, and then you need to powder the fur with a special product or talc.
Exotic
Also known as Exo or Exotic Shorthair. It is artificially bred. The coat is short, but with a thick undercoat. It is easier to care for than Persians, but the shedding is no less profuse. It is necessary to comb 2-3 times a week, and every day during shedding.
Maine Coon
Typically, these pets are combed 1-2 times a week, and during the shedding season, much more often and with the use of a slicker brush.
Norwegian Forest Cat
These cats shed heavily, and their outer hair and undercoat have a special structure, so slicker brushes and brushes cannot be used.
It is also worth remembering that if an animal's hair falls out out of season and in large quantities, then it may be due to illness or stress.
