Hi Ivor :)

Yes, they certainly do shed their coats! Usually twice yearly, spring and
autumn, but it's not unusual to have them shedding some hair all year round,
especially if you have central heating.

Both my cat's have base white hair and it gets everywhere and is very
noticable, particularly as I usually wear black clothes!

She's lovely! and also identical to Cleo, the mother/grandmother of my two
cats! Unfortunately, I no longer have her as she was killed on the road aged
7 :(  The other two are indoor cats only now as I've lost too many that way
to risk their lives too.

Good luck with her :)
