The husband and I are continuing our search for our first kitty, and we're wondering about shedding.
Is there any way to know if a certain type of cat sheds more than others? Does the length of the hair matter? Do short haired cats tend to shed more than longer haired ones, or the other way around, or is it really a shot in the dark?
I know you can reduce the shedding by properly grooming. I've already bought a zoom groom, a brush, and have the furminator on my wishlist, but it would be nice to start out a step ahead with a kitty who sheds less than "normal."
