Last few months, Kusky shedd a lot. His grey and black hair flew everywhere in the air when he ran pass. I can't rub over his furry coat as that will cause more shedding.
Shedding old hair is something very common for cats, especially when season changes. Of cause Malaysia is not a 4 season country, however cats will still shedd especially during big hot days.
Anagen is the first phase, during which the new hair grows besides the old hair, which is subsequently lost. Catagen is an intermediate stage. Telogan is the resting phase when the follicle becomes dormant. Different follicles are always in different phases, so the cat is never hairless. There is no such thing as a non-shedding breed. Shedding is governed by age, amount of sunlight, temperature, breed, sex, hormones, allergies and nutrition. Indoor cats who live mainly under artificial light usually shed continuously. Strictly outdoor cats shed for several weeks during major seasonal changes, mostly in the spring and fall.
Huh! That explains why Indoor Kusky shed more than Outdoor AHU! Plus, Kusky has very thick hair coat! Without air-conditioner, he shed even more!
