Hope you and your cat can live happily despite the shedding...
My mum has a tortoiseshell and she moults loads, all the time, despite constant grooming. Clouds of fur whenever you stroke her! Luckily she only sleeps in certain places so Mum puts down a blanket which gets covered with fur but can be washed/shaken out.
Tortoiseshells seem to have denser fur than other cats so it seems worse. It might also be that because it has got warmer recently, so more is coming off.
Not much you can do about it I'm afraid but don't worry about her being unwell as it's perfectly normal
I intended to ask a similar question about my old cat (18 years and grey - long haired) who moults copiously and as far back as I can remember. She too wants to sleep as close to me as possible and it's so itchy!!
But having read the replies I guess it's not unusual and I'm going to have to carry on living with it. She's otherwise fit and well for her age.
Thanks for all the help
