Default Re: How much fur does a cat shed everyday?

Is this normal? Or is it the hot weather? There's no a/c in my house and I haven't changed her food. She's been eating the same food for months.

I usually brush her once to twice a week since she's short haired.
There is a lot of answer to this question actually.

1) She might be growing up and shedding her old fur to replace a new better fur.

2) It may be because of hot weather and she sheds a lot to cool herself.

3)And yes, it might be the food that cause her fur to drop down.

I hope it helps.
