To prevent shedding problems from occurring, it is best to take preventative measures in advance.

If you're just thinking about getting a kitten, start by choosing the cat breed that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

Non-shedding cats include Cornish Rexes, Javanese, etc. A good option is short-haired purrs, for example, cute Burmese.

To reduce shedding and improve the quality of your cat's coat, it is recommended to use special brushes and combs, such as the Furminator.

Daily grooming will help remove loose hair, reduce hairballs and reduce overall shedding.

Please note: the furminator is not suitable for cats that belong to long-haired breeds. In this case, it would be better if you buy a special comb with long teeth.

Some cat owners also practice bathing their pets regularly – usually once a month.

However, it should be taken into account that not all cats like water, so it is important to find an approach to your pet. If bathing is not suitable for your cat, you can try simply wiping it with wet hands.
