during the winter, cats fur thickens to protect them from the cold so when summer comes along they beet to thin their fur back out to cool down. They call it shedding the winter coat. Just like humans hair, which breaks and dies cats shed all the time regardless, although during the start of the summer they will shed excessively

no because they only shed when they are hot so they shed in the summer.

the fur does not shed in the winter it keeps them warm after winter comes spring they start to lose fur then summer make the fur go more and fall it grows back

Yes. If you own cats, from time to time you will find stray whiskers lying around the house. Personally, I can always tell who's whisker it is, because one of my cats has white whiskers, and the other has black whiskers.

if a cat is shredding it means it is being bullied by the big fat ginger cat next door. the big cat next door is the leader of the Roll dawwg gangsta pack in town who go around fly kicking other cats in the head. if ur cat losers its hair it generally means that the lil asian lady next door rubbed a banana skin that had mean soaked in rice all over it and made ur cat shred. to be honest ur cat is going to die and ther is nothing at all u can do about it :D

GOOD LUCK

ex oh ex oh

Depends what you mean by shed. If you mean do they shed the whole entire nail, then No. But if you mean Do they shed the outer layer of their nail, then yes, they do.

Brushing your cat every day will help keep the cat from shedding, but if it's a long haired cat you will still have some shedding. Even humans shed some of their hair.

Pretty much all cats shed. I have a ginger and white cat, and whenever I pet her she sheds alot of hair.

Should you have a cat?

I already have a cat, but unless some one is allergic in your family you can get one,but if someone is then get a dog or get a low shedding cat. Yes, if you are able to have a cat you should, because there are too many out there without a good and loving home. Even if you are allergic you can get a Siberian, low-shedding, or you can just get one and be careful. To me allergies would be a small price to pay to enjoy my cats.


Is a bald spot bad for your cat?

It depends. It might be bald in a certain spot because the cat may be shedding badly there, or (bad part) it may have ringworm. Ringworm is a disease and you shouldn't handle cats when they have this. There is a medicine for it you can put in milk and it might help. So, if your cat has a bald spot, hopefully it is shedding!Love,Anastaisa
