      I would imagine it’s millions! Just think how many hairs we have in our eyebrows alone and think of that covering a whole cat…hairy!

      Well if a hair is typically 40 microns in diameter, and the surface area of a cat might be 0.366m^2 for a 7kg cat….. why don’t you work it out….? 🙂

      Wow they have a lot (certainly all of them more then I have haha) and some cats even loose more hair when they change it during winter/summer than we have.

      You could pluck them out and count them. . . . your cat might not be too pleased though
