How much do domestic shorthair cats shed?

Domestic shorthairs are usually light to moderate shedders. Domestic shorthairs can have a variety of coat types, including smooth and sleek, soft and velvety, or dense and plush. The amount that they shed will depend on the type of coat they inherit.

Domestic shorthairs typically experience seasonal shedding, with increased shedding during spring and fall as they transition between winter and summer coats. They might also shed more during periods of stress, changes in diet, or health issues.
