Answer
Hello Siaumy!

Cats will shed all through the year, but in summer time it is more noticeable.  If the hair loss is concentrated in one place, then it is not shedding.  If there is a general loss of hair all over, then it probably is shedding.  If there are bald patches or excessive hair loss, please have your cat checked by a professional.

God Bless,
