Hi,

I adopt a four-year old calico cat recently from one of my friend. I
have no experiences of taking care of cats at all. After reading some
FAQ, I still have a couple of questions.

First, everyday I comb her and get a handful fur. Is it normal?


One of mine sheds enormous amounts. He's a medium haired cat and whenever
he's brushed/combed (about once a week) I easily get a couple of handfuls
off him. The other sheds very lightly and hardly leaves any behind. All cats
are different, but yours sounds quite normal.
