Thinking of adopting a female ginger long hair 3 year old virtually no hair came off on me when i picked her up i just wondered if they only moult at certain times of the year?

Persian cats are high-maintenance pets. Because of their long, dense fur, they need to be combed daily with a metal comb. Persians moult heavily twice a year, and shed some hair all year around. They are not suitable for people who are allergic to cats.

uaualy they malt all the time, i would imagine a little more in winder as they need a thicker coat, but you could be lucky and have a cat that dosent malt much? it wont be that bad if your brush it anyway

You may have to be prepare to trim their trousers if they get "cling ons"

Long hairs do not neccessarily moult all the time, if brushed on a regular basis moult is more minimal x

i have 11 long haired cats in my house, 1 long haired mog and the rest maine coons, i rarely see a huge amount of moulting, in fact i don't even have to hoover everyday!! xx

if nothing came off on you she may not be a huge moulter so i wouldn't worry too much x obviously differences in weather if she'll be outside cat will affect her moulting a little, but with good brushing each week i suspect you won't have too much of a problem x

Regular grooming will keep the moulting down but if you are really bothered by the fact you will get fur on your clothes/furniture then perhaps you would be better off with a shorter haired cat or perhaps a Sphynx.

Lint rollers are wonderful things!!

Hi, they actually moult less than your short hairs, and you need to brush and groom daily anyway. C.x.
