Excess shedding can be a result of changes in the season so it is possible it is associated with weather warming up, but we can also see excessive shedding with other problems such as allergies. I would recommend having your vet examine Kilo to check for any underlying problems. In the meantime you could start a supplement good for skin such as a fatty acid supplement like Welactin which can be found online.

Shedding is a cat's natural process of losing dead hair. You could regularly brush and groom her may help. Excessive shedding can be a sign of disease so you could have her examined by your vet to make sure there isn't a medical problem. You could also add an omega 3 fatty acid supplement to her diet, like Free From Snip Tips, to see if that helps.

Some cats can shed more than others and it may be normal for her. It can also be a sign of allergies, a food intolerance or skin disease. If she has any hair loss, is grooming excessively or if her skin looks red underneath I would recommend having her examined by your veterinarian. Otherwise you may just need to brush her more frequently!
