If there are no bald spots, red skin or scratching, then this can only be assumed to be normal shedding for your cat. Cats do tend to shed quite a bit, especially longer to medium haired cats. The black tips is likely the hair follicle. I would not be concerned about this at all. You can give your pet daily fish oils (pet formulated from your local pet store) to promote healthy haircoat and skin as a general health tip.
