Hello, sorry to hear about Mousie. Cats in general shed hair normally on a daily basis. This is a normal process that cats undergo. Some cats shed more when they are outdoors in certain times of the year, where as indoor cats may she their coat year round. Long hair cats, tend leave a more noticeable shed than short haired cats. Brushing frequently is one way to decrease the amount of shed from your cat. Having a cat tree for them to rest on will also help decrease the amount of fur on your furniture. Finally, keeping your cat in a lean condition so that they can groom themselves as well. Hope this helps and best of luck.
