Both of my cats are regular short-haired cats, so shedding is not a big problem. My older cat bathes herself pretty often, and she has beautiful, soft hair and doesn't shed too much, even in the spring when they're changing coats. My younger cat doesn't spend so much time cleaning himself, and he sheds a lot more than her. Sometimes even just petting him once leaves a lump of hair in my hand during spring time (he doesn't have any bold spots, so it's not a health issue). I brush them with a regular brush, and it helps a little. I plan to invest in a Furminator first chance I get, I hear only positive things about it everywhere.
