Yes, Himalayan cats do shed. However, they don’t shed as much as other cat breeds. Himalayan cats have long, thick fur that helps protect them from the cold weather in their native region. This thick fur also means that they require more grooming than other cats. When grooming your Himalayan cat, be sure to pay special attention to their coat and whiskers. Regular brushing will help reduce shedding and keep your cat’s coat healthy and free of tangles.
