Is my kitten's shedding normal? When should I worry about hair loss?

Question

Hi, I wanna know if hairfall is normal ? My kitten is starting to have it now but she used to have none. Since I read some articles & made me a bit worried, I wanna know your opinions. As far as I know some breeds have more hair falling than others. Pet's info: Cat | Himalayan | Female | unspayed | 10 months and 11 days old | 6.6 lbs

Shedding is normal for nearly all cat breeds including Himalayans, and the amount of hair lost can be seasonal. Excessive shedding to the point where the cost is thin or there is hair loss would not be normal. If Noushmc has areas of bare skin, other skin lesions, or if she seems itchy I’d recommend having a vet examine her.
