Shaded cats are prone to shedding, especially when fed incorrectly, such as by only feeding them dry cat food, which can lead to malnutrition and consequently, hair loss. Proper nutritional supplementation can alleviate this problem.

Especially in spring and autumn, shaded cats experience more severe shedding because they need to adapt to different ambient temperatures. Also, as cats age, the quality of their fur may decline, and shedding may intensify. Therefore, it is important to be mentally prepared before getting a shaded cat.
