In this post, we explore a variety of cat breeds known for their minimal shedding tendencies and examine the statistics behind their reduced fur dispersal. From Siberian and Bengal cats with lower allergen-producing proteins to hairless breeds such as the Sphynx and Peterbald, we delve into how different genetic factors contribute to shedding patterns in feline companions. Additionally, we discuss the seasonal shedding habits of certain breeds and factors that can influence the shedding process.
