nutro NC kitten dry. a variety of wet foods, nutro, wellness, not sure what else i bought to try. max seems to shed the more than the girls, he eats less dry now, he prefers the wet food. i don't notice a difference in the shedding with him eating less dry. all their coats are very soft and shiney, especially millie's.

you may need to add some additional omega fatty acids...

i recommend nordic naturals or grizzly salmon oil... add into canned

Minus Persians I have always felt shorthaired cats shed more than longhaired. My DSH sheds more than my 4 longhaired cats.

I think it's a matter of perception. I always think my Shorthairs shed more than my Longhairs - maybe because it's more obvious when they do!
