Do Siamese Cats Shed?

Knowing just how much a cat sheds before becoming the proud owner of one can help temper your expectations of pet parental bliss.

If you’re going to resent rubbing down your furniture and clothes to rid them of follicles, you should be doing exactly what you’re doing right now. That is, researching which breeds shed the most (and the least).

In this case, we’re going to look at Siamese cats in particular and see how much they shed in comparison to other friendly felines. So do Siamese cats shed? Let’s find out!

All animals with fur shed to some degree. It ranges from so minimal that you barely notice to so extravagant that you sweep the house twice a day just to keep the floor fur-free.

Do Siamese Cats Shed Throughout the Year?

Typically Siamese cats shed less than other breeds, such as Maine Coons.

These cats typically experience two molts in the year, namely in spring and fall. In spring they begin to shed their warm winter coats in preparation for the sunny summer days to come.

In the fall, they will start to grow that same coat again to protect them from the cold, causing shedding of the summer coat.

During these molting seasons, which last 6-8 weeks, you can save your furniture and floors by brushing your feline friend daily to help them get rid of the dropping fur. A good shedding brush will be your best friend in this scenario.
