Direct answer: increase gentle coat checks during a seasonal moult, removing loose fur without pulling the protective coat or exhausting the cat. TICA notes that Norwegian Forest Cats may moult once or twice a year.
Check the dense areas
Work through the ruff, trousers, armpits and belly carefully. Use tools suitable for the coat and stop when the skin becomes irritated.
Break the task into sections
Short, frequent sessions can be kinder than trying to finish the entire cat. Reward calm pauses and let the cat leave.
Do not treat every coat change as seasonal
Sudden baldness, soreness, excessive licking or a coat the cat cannot maintain needs veterinary advice.
A practical furniture note: The Cashmere Comb can support this routine where its current specifications suit your cat and room. Product furniture cannot diagnose or treat a health or behaviour problem.
