Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2007Shedding her fur all the time...
I have a cat that seems to be shedding her fur all over the livingroom all the time, I'm afraid that she's going to be bald sooner or later, what can I do about her shedding her fur so much? >I have a cat that seems to be shedding her fur all over the livingroom all >the time, I'm afraid that she's going to be bald sooner or later, what can >I do about her shedding her fur so much? This is the season for it, as Summer sets in.....Wait and see if she still sheds it in the Fall....... >>I have a cat that seems to be shedding her fur all over the livingroom all >>the time, I'm afraid that she's going to be bald sooner or later, what can >>I do about her shedding her fur so much? >> >This is the season for it, as Summer sets in.....Wait and see if she still >sheds it in the Fall.......

Yep, lots of good info there... As far as shedding goes; I have to comb Mama twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. It's that time of year again...this is pretty much a summer routine. If I didn't do it, chances are she would get hairballs, and maybe not even live as long because of it. I've seriously thought about putting a number 3 in my electric clippers and shaving her, but I doubt I will, so I brush brush brush. Another article at the Web site examines grass eating. http://www.cozycatfurniture.com/cat_newsletters/puttingcatoutofpasture.html I grow Mama her own oat grass, she loves it, and grazes like a cow on it probably 10+ times a day. She is about 14 years old and still very healthy, so I highly recommend oat grass for kitties well being. You can find bulk oat grass seed for about $3. in a 4oz. packet. A small to meduim size flower pot will work nicely to grow a new crop of grass every 6 weeks if you keep it watered. The 4oz. packet has lasted me going on 3 years, and I probably won't have to buy another until the 5th year. There are few things you can buy for such a low price that will go so far in benefiting kitty's well being. The health benefit and preventitive measures to price ratio is excellent....A+++, 10, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up. And kitty will thank you for it. >> Here is an interesting newsletter I located on the internet covering >> this issue...

This is what I feed Princess and she simply loves it and has no problem with her hairballs (yet). >>>I have a cat that seems to be shedding her fur all over the livingroom >>>all [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > They have other interesting newsletters on cat care... A very good article. I have a long haired cat, with very fine hair, that doesn't shed at all. (that I can detect) Another of my cats has short thick hair, and she sheds all the time, but each hair is only about one inch long and very thick and noticeable, so it is easy to vacuum up..... But I brush all of my cats, and they all seem to enjoy it. Even the feral cat enjoys being brushed, until he hisses and tries to bite me.....:^) >>>>I have a cat that seems to be shedding her fur all over the livingroom >>>>all [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >all of my cats, and they all seem to enjoy it.

Good question....He obviously enjoys it, because he rolls around on his back and pushes toward the brush....He will even go over and lie down on the brush if you stop too soon..... He hisses and bites/scratches half the time anyway....He had been wild for several years before I began to befriend him, so it is just his nature to distrust human beings.....I have to treat him as I would any wild animal.....but that is part of the reason why I like him. > I have a cat that seems to be shedding her fur all over the livingroom all > the time, I'm afraid that she's going to be bald sooner or later, what can I > do about her shedding her fur so much? Set the cat on fire with acetone and get it over with sooner. >> I have a cat that seems to be shedding her fur all over the livingroom all >> the time, I'm afraid that she's going to be bald sooner or later, what can I >> do about her shedding her fur so much? > >Set the cat on fire with acetone and get it over with sooner. With a comment like that, I would rather soak you with lighter fluid and pitch you a match... [snip] > With a comment like that, I would rather soak you with > lighter fluid and pitch you a match...
