Javanese cats do shed, but in very small amounts because they lack an undercoat and have only a layer of guard hairs protecting their skin. If you notice excessive shedding and dandruff on their fur, it indicates a skin condition that requires prompt treatment. A diet high in oil and salt can also contribute to excessive shedding in Javanese cats.

Javanese cats share similar personality traits with Oriental cats. They are outgoing and talkative, with a melodious voice. They are loyal, like puppies, and love to follow their owners, knowing exactly how to win their affection. They are excellent "athletes" and skilled "hunters." Their fur is easy to groom, and they particularly enjoy being brushed.
