Why do kittens lose their hair in winter?

Normal physiological alopecia

Normal physiological alopecia occurs in spring and autumn every year. Because of the great climate change, cats can better adapt to the new temperature change only by shedding their hair. In summer, the cat's hair will fall thinner, making life more comfortable in summer. Thick hair will grow in winter, and new hair will be replaced when old hair grows, which will help to resist the cold and keep the body temperature.

Treatment of cat alopecia

1, sprinkle water

Before sweeping the floor, spray a small amount of water in the air and the ground, first wipe the smooth surfaces such as tables, bedside and bookcases with a wringing rag, and then wipe the ground with a wringing mop.

Sprinkler reason:

(1) is to reduce the flying of cat hair.

(2) It is to facilitate hair coagulation.

Step 2 use a vacuum cleaner

Cat hair that falls on beds, carpets or fabric sofas, curtains and plush toys can be removed with a vacuum cleaner.

Step 3 Use static electricity

Buying electrostatic brushes is more suitable for flat areas such as sofa surfaces. Cat hair will be sucked away by the brush when brushing. However, it should be noted that cat hair that is stuck too tightly sometimes cannot be removed.

Step 4 use drums

To treat cat hair on the surface of clothes, beds and sofas, sticky hair rolls can be used. With a little force, most of the hair will be curled and stuck.
