Separated Cat Fur, In Rows.

I have a policy of blocking negative posters/content on social media. They get one chance and if they do it, they're history. Life is too important to waste on misguided, poisonous people.
Here on TCS, we basically enjoy GOOD content. That's why I've been here since 2006.

I've always been told it's a sign that your cat is too hot. It's not a clump per day (though I see some dandruff so that could be a sign of lack of grooming well, could be due to size).

There's many reasons why a cat could have that issue seasonally as well, or just based on your specific cat's nutritional needs. Coat and Skin Appearance in the Healthy Cat | VCA Animal Hospitals

since your cat is sensitive about vet-going I would see if you can email the vet a photo and then they'll know if it's time for you to make an appointment. Even if your cat doesn't like going, it's important. After all, I don't think many of us humans like going to our "vet" either!
