I. Why do cats shed hair
About cat shedding, cats are very talented. We humans generally only grow one hair in a pore, while a cat’s pore can grow dozens of cat hairs! This is because the hair follicles under the cat’s skin clump together to form composite follicles. Composite hair follicles usually consist of one primary hair follicle and N secondary hair follicles. The main hair follicle grows long and thick main hair, also called guard hair. The accessory hair follicles will grow two different forms of cat hair, the thick-thin-thick ones are called awn hairs, and the more curly ones are called down hairs. These hairs together add up to a cat’s hair density of about 1,100 hairs per square centimeter. By the way, the density of human hair is about 615 strands/square centimeter, which is why all hairs fall out, why only you are bald! A four-kilogram cat has a body surface area of about 2,500 square centimeters, which means there are about 27.5 million cat hairs on a cat!
