My cat Snappy is a domestic short haired cat but he has a very thick
soft pelt which is fine in the wintertime but in the summer it is a
bit of a problem. I brush him constantly but its never enough. He
gets hairball and is uncomfortable with the heat. I am wondering, in
advance, of the advisablility of bathing him. Would that make his fur
loss any simpler?

Cats only need baths if they are really dirty.
Try a Furminator.
