How much do Chartreux cats shed?
Chartreux cats are moderate shedders. They have a dense, wooly double coat that does not shed excessively, but the amount they shed can increase during seasonal changes, especially in the spring and fall. During these times, Chartreux cats undergo a natural process of shedding their old coat to make way for new growth, adapting to the changing temperatures. In the spring, they lose their heavier winter coat, while in the fall, they shed their lighter summer coat in preparation for a thicker winter coat. This seasonal shedding helps them regulate their body temperature more effectively.
