Have the same issue with Princess. I can brush her all day long if I want to, she still sheds like mad. As soon as we pet her, hair is flying. Most from her hind part (from mid-body backward) - reminds me very much of how a Husky sheds in fact - I can pull out chunks of white under-fur for as long as she'll put up with it!

Since both she and Spooky eat the same foods, and Spooky doesn't shed in spite of the extreme heat and humidity, so I doubt it's that.

Princess' skin is fine. She had some dandruff just as we got her, but that cleared up in a week to 10 days. No excess thirst either.

She's 13, calm, aloof, gripey at times, not happy having cat-competition but that doesn't faze Spooky who jumps on her trying to play (once in a while, mostly she's playing with the budgies and the fish).

There is no logical reason for Princess' shedding. I was however, wondering if I should give her some fish-oil and see if that would help?
