My mom doesnt let me have a cat because they drop a lot of hair. (Or so did the cat we had some time ago.)
Is there some kind of diet or product to stop it from dropping much hair? If I find out how to, I’m almost sure she’ll let me buy it.

Unless you get an exotic hairless breed they all shed. You can give the cat extra fat and vitamins and it will help. The best way to keep hair down is to brush it daily. Some people that get a cat then discover they atr allergic or cant deal with the hair get the cat shaved a couple times a year. That shaoul be a last resort, in my opinion.
Nutro Natural Choice. It’s one of the best foods on the market and it helps reduce shedding. Also get a slicker brush and brush him everyday. It will make a huge differance.
the best why to get your cat to shed less is high quality food(such as pro plan, royal canin and science diet) comb him at least two times a week and vacuum the house each week.
cat’s shed there’s nothing you can do about it, but if you’ll give him good food and comb him he will shed less.
i do believe there some breeds who shed less, you should search the and find out about them, but know that a pure breed one does cost alot of money it can reach up to several thousands dollars.
no.
certan breed of cat shed less. look at a cat breed book to find any that dont.
or get a hairless breed of cat.

We hate to break it to you, but all animals with fur shed to some degree. Even humans shed an average of 150 hairs from our heads each day. Shedding is how animals replenish their fur and keep it in good condition. And we’ve found that a little bit of shedding is a fair trade for the cuddliness of a fluffy cat.
But if your parents absolutely forbid fur, your best option is a purebred hairless cat, such as the Sphynx. This unusual cat isn’t totally hairless. It has a fine down on its body, rather like the fuzz on a peach. Some people say the skin of a Sphynx feels like suede or chamois. Due to its virtually hairless condition, this cat requires special care. Sphynxs must be bathed frequently because they have no hair to absorb their body oils, so they get dirty quickly. This breed is rare, and there are usually waiting lists for the kittens.
Two cat breeds are often touted as shedding a minimal amount. The Cornish Rex cat has short, curly fur that lies close to its body. The Devon Rex is similar and has curly fur that can be in a very thin coat across the cat’s body. Both of these cats may shed less noticeably due to their short, fine fur.
It’s important to note that unlike purebred dogs, purebred cats are very uncommon. Only an estimated 1% to 3% of all house cats are purebreds. To find a Sphynx, Cornish Rex, or Devon Rex, you and your parents should visit local cat shows to talk with breeders. You can also look through sites like the Fanciers Breeder Referral List. Interview several breeders, and ask them about the health and welfare of their cats. Expect to pay $300 or more for a purebred kitten, and popular or rare breeds may cost you more.
However, if your parents want a non-shedding cat because they are allergic to cats, a hairless or low-shedding cat might not be the answer. People who are allergic to cats are actually allergic to a glycoprotein called Fel d1 found in the cat’s saliva, dander (dried skin flakes), fur, and other places. Getting a cat that doesn’t shed or have fur will cut down on the amount of this allergen but won’t eliminate it completely.
You could get a Sphinx cat that is hairless.
Another thing is to use the best catfood and you have less shedding. Iams, or Science Diet.
go with a short haired cat – they shed very, very little. A good diet using a premium food will cut down on shedding. Offer to brush the cat in you room, and promise to clean up afterwards. You might also promise to vaccume every day – that one would get my mom in a heartbeat – to keep the hair to a minimum.
No there is not. But I have found that if you shave the cat the shedding problem goes away. And cats love the sound of electric clippers. They will come running for miles away to be shaved.
