But at the first sign that the days start to lengthen and the sun spends more time out, they ll start releasing their fur. It s only natural. The shedding of their coats largely depends on lighting conditions, air conditioning levels and the constant temperature control in your home. But typically indoor cats will shed at any point throughout the year. Cats shed in order to remove dead hair from their bodies.
Dead hair can cause skin irritation and thus needs to be gone.
If you don t remove it for them, they ll release it on their own. The more frequently you brush your cat and remove dead and loose hair from their bodies yourself, they won t shed. If you brush your cat, you have full control over where the fur goes. When you brush your cat s fur, get a comb or brush specifically designed for cats. These brushes are designed to pick up the most fur possible, and you can pick one up at your local pet store.
