Inside cats seem to shed worse as they do not get exposed to seasonal changes as much as the outside cats. When kept at a fairly constant temp the hair continues to grow and shed as there is no chill to let the coat know that it needs to thicken or heat to let the coat know it is summer and needs to thin.
I use different things at different times.
If it is flea related I comb the cats apply Diatomeacous earth(food grade only) on the coat let that set a while and them comb it through.
If it is oily coat and the DE did not get it I will use cornmeal smear that dry into the coat I wear disposable gloves doing this as It
OK I will attempt writing this again
kitties deleted the water part.
first prep the room: towels on floor, a crate or laundry basket upside down in the tub covered with towel some thing for kitty to cling to as they do not like to slip. Fill tub and prepare acid rinse. vinegar water solution
Find kitty , firmly hold kitty as he may realise he is not going to be happy soon.
Drown the kitty also known as getting kitty wet. make sure the coat is wet to skin and then soap up with a kat safe shampoo some can be found on the dog grooming aisle make sure there is no Tea Tree Oil as this is toxic to cats, baby shampoo will work as will Dawn original if it is a serious bath as kitty got into pitch/oil/paint. work the shampoo into coat and let set. this is usually long enough time for the kitty to try to hide behind the toilet and you are trying to get ahold of the slippery little piggy.
Put kitty back in water or at least on crate in tub and using the pans gather and pour water to rinse out the fur. when you think this is done use the acid rinse. The crackling sound you hear is the soap still on the fur. let this work for a bit and then rinse this off with water.
Dry kitty and then when dry comb and brush.
kitty will be planning your demise so be prepared.
Good luck Best wished Nice knowing you
