thank you so much for the advice...El.
and 1 more question, my cat shed a lot recently...is it because i changed her food from RC-SP-Origen??
orijen should not shed the fur..
how old is your daughter?
remember, in cats life, they do shed fur alot when age changes.. like from kitten to adult they intend to change the coat. even in some cat, the color change alil bit from brighter to dull color, from dull to brighter color.
few things that makes the fur shed and change color brightness are like - the hormone, the temperature (it's very hot lately), lake of nutrition.
if you feeding good food like orijen, and your cat is not spay, they still shed fur.
if you feeding good food, already spay, but your cat is not happy at all, fur will still shed when they are stress.
if you feeding good food, already spay, happy cat, but they have parasite like ringworm,fleas,tick,lice = they still shed fur.
so back to the fur issue, you need to know how serious it is. basically CAT DO SHED FUR.. there is no excuse for this. they will shed fur everyday. the problem is, on how much fur shedding. if u have extremely ALOT, they you need to seek help form the vet. they might give u booster or supplement, and also check on the skin condition. remember, some cat gets FOOD ALLERGY.
Long hair will shed fur everyday more than short hair. you might not realize it on shirt hair, since it is short.
conclusion... how much do your cat shed its fur... if just a little you dont have to worry that is normal.. but if it more and your friend's cat do not shed fur like your cat, then you need to check the IF statement above. if you see shed+botak botak = serious alert you need vet.
good luck
