This means your cat is shedding.

This is very normal, and if you aren't familiar with cats or other furry animals, this may seem abnormal to you.

Cats shed their hair to grow in a new coat, and usually sheds in the springtime for warmer weather.

If you want to reduce the amount of cat hair on your furniture, brush your cat daily with a pet brush, available at pet stores. (Don't fall for cheap ones, buy a better quality one, because it removes more hair in a lot less time).

Finally, if you find this as a consistent & chronic problem with the shedding, it can typically be caused by poor nutrition.

In 2 easy steps you really can help you kitty overcome this issue.

1.) Choose a food that has the most quality MEAT in the top 5 ingredients. Many cat foods are loaded with junk (corn, wheat, soy, rice "mystery meat") & this just feeds the problem. Blue Buffalo offers nice lines of cat food.

2.) Add a well balanced nutritional supplement to the diet. Food alone won't cut it so the nutritional supplement will will in the gaps giving you kitty the best path to overall good health & less shedding. Dinovite offers nice lines of balanced cat supplements.

Taking care of your cat from the inside out leaves them less prone to leaving a hairball mess around your home & you a happier pet owner.
