In Reply to: do they shed posted by tanyag87 on March 12, 2003 at 19:28:07:

:I am planning to adapt an Abyssinian. I would like to know if they shed and how bad it is in spring. I have always had Devon Rex cats and they don't shade. Any information is greatly appreciated

Yes, they do shed. As I am in a moderate climate I don't notice too much difference from one season to another. With daily grooming, which is a wipe down with a damp cloth, and combing, the shedding isn't bad. I would say they probably shed a bit less or about the same as most shorthair cats, Rex of course are an exception.
