Shedding

Question
My cat is a little over 1 year old. He is an indoor cat and sheds a lot! We always have fur on our clothes, furniture, etc. He does eat very good food, Science Diet, dry food and wet food 2x daily. Why is he shedding so much???

Answer
Some cats are just shedders Cindy. The amount of heat, humidity, breed etc has a lot to do with it. Indoor cats shed more because their bodies don't recognize the cycle of the seasons as well. Normally when an outdoor animal feels winter coming on, they shed a bit of their summer coat to make room for the undercoat for winter. When spring comes they shed out the undercoat for a lighter summer coat.

You are feeding the best food on the market, bar none. Have you tried the indoor cat formula? It is made with this shedding problem in mind. You might want to give it a try or the sensitive skin formula. That is what my cat is on and her skin and fur as like silk.

Brushing him a lot with a soft brush will help also as it helps him remove the coat that her skin wants to lose but is having a hard time with. Brushing will actually cut down on shedding a great deal after a while.


I hope this helps.
