    Cat's also shed fur when stressed. I've noticed that on Sam when at the vet; clumps would come off in my hand. Recently I groomed them and held Sam down (he wanted to leave before I was finished) and a ton of fur came off of his back end. Strange thing is that I let him go and he came back for more, so he wasn't distressed, he just didn't want to be restrained at that moment, so the hair shed.

    Spunky likes any attention so grooming isn't a problem.

    Just a thought.

    Storm has always had dandruff and it seems to be better as long as he gets plenty of moisture in his diet. When I brush him and Sunny I always get a lot of fur that comes out on the brush. I use the furminator and a flea comb. They do seem to shed more during the warmer months.

    My other cats don't really liked being brushed so I try to do as much as they'll tolerate. Both Ziggy and Sky really need it though. I can pet Starr and get handfuls of fur sometimes because he's shedding so bad. The pictures of your girls look normal to me so I wouldn't worry too much.
