Cats are adorable and rich pets to pet, especially when they are very furry. However, the shedding of some popular breeds can be difficult to handle. Whether you can’t tolerate furballs circulating around the house, don’t have enough time, or are prone to allergies, you’ll be happy to know that there are cats that dont shed<\/strong> or shed almost no hair.<\/p>\n

Are there cats that dont shed?<\/h1>\n

We are pleased to share with you the list of non-shedding cats<\/strong>, what characterizes them and why would you want to choose one of them.<\/p>\n

What are the domestic cats that don’t shed?<\/h2>\n

In general, cats that do not shed hair can be divided into two groups or types: hairless cats and short-haired cats. Lacking the conventional coat of cats, the different hairless breeds are among the best options to consider. But if you are still not convinced by the appearance of these exotic felines, you could opt for certain short-coated cats.<\/p>\n

Although most of them still shed hair, and still need routine maintenance, the amount shed is much less than that lost by other breeds.<\/p>\n

That said, the 11 cats that don’t shed hair are:<\/p>\n

  9. Exotic cat<\/li>\n
  10. Abyssinian<\/li>\n
  11. Bengal<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let’s see what they look like and what characterizes each of them …<\/p>\n

    1. Sphinx cat<\/h3>\n

    Also erroneously known as the Egyptian cat, the sphinx is the most famous among hairless cats. It should be noted that, although it does not have the typical feline fur, in reality, it does have hair follicles, from which a kind of very thin, practically imperceptible layer grows. That is why your skin feels similar to suede.<\/p>\n

    The sphinx cat is an exotic breed, ideal for those looking for a pussy that does not shed hair. However, with the absence of fur comes great responsibility. Their exposed skin lacks protection, as well as a mechanism to absorb natural oils. That means that it requires a special maintenance routine, with regular baths and care that protects it from sunlight and changes in temperature.<\/p>\n
