Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2004cat losing fur!
Our cat keeps on losing his fur. This is really annoying for a home. His fur found on everybody's pants and t-shirts and everywhere in our rooms. I have no idea if this could be in normal condition for a cat. BTW, he looks quite healthy.

Do some serious brushing on him for a while and see if that takes care of all the loose hair. Sherry >Our cat keeps on losing his fur.

It so, the problem is much more pressing than your t-shirts. Your cat might be sick. If he has always been shedding, just brush him daily. If he is a long hair cat, use a brush designed for them. For short hair cats, a rubber grooming brush works well. Dik Hi Sherry and Dik, Thanks for your advices! I think my cat is in normal condition but need daily brush :) Alex -- ================================================== Cell Phone Batteries at 30-50%+ off retail prices! http://www.pocellular.com ================================================== "Alex Shi" <chpshi@stonix.com> wrote:5ruXb.27165$vq.26308@nntp-post.primus.ca... > Our cat keeps on losing his fur.

You can get a glove that brushes out loose hair and it sticks to the glove - ideal for collecting hair off a longhaired cat. Signature79.84% of all statistics are made up on the spot. The other 42% are made up later on. In Warwick - looking at flat fields and that includes the castle. >Our cat keeps on losing his fur.

BTW, he looks quite healthy. What do you mean by "loosing fur?" Every cat sheds, I've had cats who shed enough to build several more cats. Cats shed when the warm weather comes, when they get stressed, or if they get sick. Some shedding is normal, alot is not. If you have any doubts, consult your vet. If the shedding is in huge clumps and in an excessive quantity then by all means see the vet. You show me someone who doesn't have kitty fur on their clothes and i'll show you someon who doesn't have a cat. If it is a new cat, after you've had it for a while you'll get accustomed to how much shedding is normal. Again if you have doubts, the prudent thing is to check with your vet. Better to be safe than sorry. Better to ask your vet and be told it's nothing to worry about than to ask your vet and be told you should have brought him in last month. With my cats I err on the side of caution. -------------------------------------------- "Finally a member of the Jackson family finds another young boy to victimize." -------------------------Jimmy Fallon on SNL referring to Justin Timberlake To send me e-mail exorcise NO Spam from my e-mail address.
