White cat owner? Oh the hair!
I adopted a 9 year old cat from Cat's Protection in March. He's all white coloured. He's been shedding a lot of hair which I assume is due to higher temperatures in the summer months. Today I brushed him over with his Zoom Groom brush and the amount of hair that came from him was unbelievable! A massive handful at least! I brushed for ages and it just kept coming! Of course he loves being brushed so was quite happy with it. Do other coloured cats shed so much hair? Is it just because you can't, for example, notice a dark cats hair on clothes, furniture and carpets as much? Do white cats have MORE hair than other coloured cat's. My questions are endless! Tell me everything you know about white cats please!

Keep at least one room in the house where he's not allowed to go. I'm used to everything I own being covered in white hair, but my bedroom is sanctuary where I can put my clothes down safely.
I dunno about yours but mine, a female and also a rescue cat, is very needy and demands a lot of affection.
I also got told by someone that she must have a coloured hair on her somewhere or she'd be deaf. I told them that if they could find it, could they pull it out please because she likes the sound of her own voice.

Cats get more vocal the older they get, so get used to it miz as it'll just get worse. When I brush my cat, a tabby, I can get a carrier bag full of hair inside 20 minutes. You might find a Furminator useful, they don't leave much hair about after a going over with one of those.
BTW I have stone coloured sofas so I notice my cat's hair very easily.

We had an all white rescue cat when growing up and he was definitely not deaf.
I had a long haired black and white rescue cat who hardly shed at all and then two short haired black and red tortoishell rescue cats, although I lost one of them last week, and they shed so much (cream carpets too). I have to try and get down on my hands and knees before hoovering to get the hair up and there is always so much more than you can see! Especially bad at the moment as they have been moulting for the warmer weather.

We have four, one tabby and white, one ginger, one black and white and one completely black - the hair is everywhere! I tend to buy those sticky fluff remover rollers to remove cat hair from the furniture and our clothes, they are very effective but sometimes a lot of sheets are needed to "de-cat" things, believe me, white cats don't shed any more hair than the others it just seems they do.
my cat is black and white, so I can't win, not joking. Both type of hair show up on beige plain carpet where she sits, any bedding also clothing. Must admit the black hair is the worst shows on everything, and talk about talking.....
she is a quarter siamese, 18years old, never shuts up...follows me meowing,
its like someone constantly nagging you.
