Yes, if Summer is coming where you are then he would begin to shed his winter coat. Unless he is losing it in patches and has bald areas, I would not worry. Cats do shed year round but shed much more as warm weather approaches. A white cat's fur is going to show up on everything. Brush him as often as you can to cut down on the shedding. Also make sure you are feeding him a good quality food to keep his fur healthy.
I agree with Allie. Cats do shed twice a year, from January to June and from July to December ;-) However, look at the fur Diego is losing. Is it coming out in clumps with bare skin underneath? Does the skin look red or "crusty"? Is he scratching to the point of drawing blood? Is he hacking up hairballs a lot more than normal? Do you notice anything unusual about his skin condition? If your mother (did you mean YOUR mother or are you speaking for Diego?) is getting stressed out by all the fur, just be very careful and considerate about vacuuming. If you are in the USA, Pledge makes a wonderful new thing that picks up pet hair, and it REALLY works. You can get it at the grocery store. If you are truly concerned about Diego's fur loss, you can always contact your vet, describe it to them, and let them decide whether or not Diego needs to be examined. PS--post some new photos!!! 8-)
Ah the relaxing days of summer...winter is just around the corner for us. Anywhoooo...
I would think it's shedding with the warmer weather coming...ah lucky you...it's just Diego losing all the extra that won't be needed shortly.
Both my pets can have clumps of hair as well when shedding but as long as you don't see skin Diego should be just fine.
Enjoy your summer....winter sucks!!!!!!
