Question
hello
its summer here, and my cat seems 2 be loseing hair or is she sheding?
what time of year do cats shed?
thanks for your time
siaumy
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,
Becky

Expertise
I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
