during the winter, cats fur thickens to protect them from the cold so when summer comes along they beet to thin their fur back out to cool down. They call it shedding the winter coat. Just like humans hair, which breaks and dies cats shed all the time regardless, although during the start of the summer they will shed excessively

Yes. If you own cats, from time to time you will find stray whiskers lying around the house. Personally, I can always tell who's whisker it is, because one of my cats has white whiskers, and the other has black whiskers.

if a cat is shredding it means it is being bullied by the big fat ginger cat next door. the big cat next door is the leader of the Roll dawwg gangsta pack in town who go around fly kicking other cats in the head. if ur cat losers its hair it generally means that the lil asian lady next door rubbed a banana skin that had mean soaked in rice all over it and made ur cat shred. to be honest ur cat is going to die and ther is nothing at all u can do about it :D

GOOD LUCK

Depends what you mean by shed. If you mean do they shed the whole entire nail, then No. But if you mean Do they shed the outer layer of their nail, then yes, they do.

Brushing your cat every day will help keep the cat from shedding, but if it's a long haired cat you will still have some shedding. Even humans shed some of their hair.

Why do cats lose whiskers?

Cats can lose their whiskers naturally during shedding season or due to general wear and tear. Whiskers may also break or fall out if the cat is engaged in activities that put stress on them, such as rough play or squeezing into tight spaces. Whiskers will grow back over time, as they are essential for a cat's sensory perception.


Why would a cat stop moulting?

A cat may stop moulting due to changes in season, diet, stress levels, or health conditions. Regular grooming and a balanced diet can help regulate shedding in cats. However, if moulting stops suddenly or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult a veterinarian.

Should you have a cat?

I already have a cat, but unless some one is allergic in your family you can get one,but if someone is then get a dog or get a low shedding cat. Yes, if you are able to have a cat you should, because there are too many out there without a good and loving home. Even if you are allergic you can get a Siberian, low-shedding, or you can just get one and be careful. To me allergies would be a small price to pay to enjoy my cats.
