Cat Problem, Need Insight [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

OK, so you see my two cats, Meatball (also called Mousetrap) on the left, and Destructo on the right.

On their names, I will note that I am a firm believer in the idea that one does not name a cat, one discovers the name of the cat.

Meatball, our lovely void, is 7-8 pounds, and Destructo is 16-17 pounds, and he was the runt of the litter. (Some Maine Coon in him)

Despite this, Meatball is the alpha-cat, to the degree that alpha-cats are possible.

Here is the thing, under the square cube law, Destructo has about 25% more surface area, and MUCH longer hair, so he is likely carrying at least twice the weight of fur in him.

Here is what has got me going ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, Meatball sheds more than Destructo, a lot more, on the order of 4-5 times the fur left on the bed. (You can tell by the color)

How can happen? I is confuzzled.
