Is it normal for my cat's thick coat to shed a lot during grooming?

Question

My feline (female Calico Breed) is shedding hair only when we do her grooming. Her hair on the coat have become bigger. Is it normal when a cats coat is big their hair come on the brush while grooming. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 9.7 lbs

Some cats do not readily shed their hair and need regular combing to remove the dead hair. This is important, as dead hair causes mats, causes hairballs and also itches terribly. I suggest you comb her every day. She will thank you ! On the other hand, if your cat does not readily shed, you do not have a big problem with lots of cat hair flying about in your house.
