Cats have hair.

The first reason-weather change.

When the weather changes from cold to hot, the hormones in cats will change. Soft and fluffy winter hair will be replaced in summer and thick summer hair will be replaced in winter. For this reason, there is no good way to stop hair removal. You can only accept it!

Tips:

Because cats are kept indoors for a long time, the seasonal molting of cats is becoming less and less obvious. Many cats lose their hair all the year round. At the same time, some data show that when cats live below 25 degrees Celsius for 365 days, the problem of molting can be improved, but it cannot be completely changed!

Since it is impossible to change the phenomenon of cat hair shedding, the owner may wish to think from another angle. As long as he is diligent in grooming cats, carefully cleaning them when grooming, and carefully rubbing them in the shower, the cat hair that falls off normally can be roughly cleaned up to avoid a room full of hair.

At the same time, it should be noted that hair loss is not a patent for long-haired cats, and the owner can't ignore cleaning up short-haired cats. In addition, bathing and grooming cats not only has the function of "cleaning hair", but also increases the opportunities for emotional communication with each other. In the process of combing, it can promote the blood circulation of epidermis, increase the metabolic speed of cat fur and shorten the time of hair changing.

Long-haired cats can easily form knots if they are not combed in time, which makes it more difficult for their owners to comb. The owner can spray some smooth spray with knot-opening effect before combing his hair, which will make it easier to comb his hair.

Tips:

1. Bathing is good for cleaning the dead hair of cats, but to control the number of baths, even in summer, once every two weeks is enough for cats.

Many owners are used to grooming cats after bathing, which is completely wrong. Dead hair that falls off is more likely to knot in water, so comb the cat thoroughly before taking a shower.

The second reason-malnutrition

After excluding the possibility of weather change, the most likely cause of cat hair loss is malnutrition, the most common nutritional deficiency is protein deficiency, and vitamin intake is also one of the reasons.

Insufficient intake of protein usually refers to protein contained in animal protein, that is, meat and fish. Is not enough. Mainly, there are still many families feeding rice to cats. If protein, such as fish, is not supplemented enough, depilation will occur, and in severe cases, the whole hair will fall off. If this is the case with your kitten's hair loss, I suggest you increase the proportion of fish in cat food, but the simpler way is to feed cat food instead. Generally, cats fed with cat food will have more balanced nutrition.

Vitamin A also plays an important role here. Insufficient intake of vitamin A can also cause cat hair loss, skin lesions, conjunctivitis, corneal opacity and other symptoms. The owner can feed the cat some foods rich in vitamin A, such as animal liver, or use special cod liver oil capsules to supplement the cat with vitamin A appropriately.

Tips:

1. The difference between cats and many other mammals is that cats can't convert carotene into vitamin A, so pure plant food can't meet the needs of cats for vitamin A. Cat food must contain animal food.

2. Excessive vitamin A is as harmful as lack. Cats who eat too much vitamin A or a lot of animal liver for a long time will have bone diseases, tenderness of limbs, gingivitis and tooth loss.

Reason three-mental depression

The cats kept at home have been kept in a narrow space for a long time and lack exercise. Cats are unhappy because their desires are not satisfied, which will affect their appetite and cause depilation in severe cases.

To change this situation, the owner should give the cat more opportunities to bask in the sun and increase the cat's exercise.

Sunbathing is the most relaxing state for lazy cats, and it can also prevent cats from getting rickets. If you can't be with the cat during the day, put the cat in a room where you can bask in the sun. It has no owner, at least sunshine as company.

Getting cats to exercise more is actually taking more time to play with cats. Cats like to move vertically, so they can move freely even in a small space. If you throw a small paper ball in the room, the cat may jump up and down and run after it. As long as cats feel the care of their owners, they will not be depressed!

Tips:

Cats are full of curiosity about moving things. Preparing more toys for them will also increase their exercise.

Reason four-getting sick

Cats are also sick little things. Once it has a skin disease, it will have symptoms of hair loss. So how to judge whether it is hair change or skin disease? You can choose an area and always pluck its hair. If you find that Badou still has a lot of hair, it's molting. Pulling it out means baldness, but it's not molting!

Dermatosis and alopecia are mostly in a small range. When checking these abnormal skin, the most important thing is to see if there is itching or pain in the abnormal place. If there is itching or pain, there is something wrong with this part.

Cats have symptoms of skin diseases:

Scratch your body with your hind foot.

Rub around on the floor, carpet, etc.

Shake your head occasionally.

Always licking you somewhere.

Hair is sparse.

Got acne.

The skin is red and swollen.

There are many dirty places in a certain part of the body.

Skin diseases that are easy to get in different locations are not exactly the same. The owner can judge what kind of skin disease the cat has by where the cat loses its hair. However, the treatment of skin diseases is a slow and easy-to-relapse process. If your treatment doesn't improve, you must ask the veterinarian for help as soon as possible, determine the cause and treat it in time.

Tips:

Diseases that may lead to hair loss are not necessarily skin diseases, but may also be precursors of other diseases, especially metabolic and endocrine problems, which may lead to abnormal hair loss.

Usually cats lose their hair for several reasons:

1. Weather changes. When the weather changes from cold to hot, the hormones in cats will change, prompting long hair with good warmth to fall off and replace it with short hair. Simply put, it is to take off the winter clothes and put on the summer clothes. For this reason, there is no good way to stop hair removal. The only way is to nurse it regularly, and bathing it often is also an effective way.

2. malnutrition. After excluding the possibility of weather change, the most likely cause of kitten hair loss is malnutrition. Protein deficiency is the most common, and insufficient vitamin intake is also one of the reasons. Families in China usually feed their cats rice. If you don't add enough protein, such as fish, you will lose your hair, and in severe cases, the kitten will take off the whole piece. If this is the case with your kitten's hair loss, I suggest you increase the proportion of fish in the cat's feed. At the same time, feeding yeast to cats is helpful to correct the deficiency of vitamin intake and is very useful to prevent hair loss.

3. I am sick. Cats are actually a kind of small animals that get sick easily. I believe you have seen him sneeze when he has a cold, right? If your kitten is in a bad mood recently, her appetite is not as good as usual, and she is still unhairing, it is probably sick. At this time, you'd better take it to the vet for examination, and the vet will give you professional advice.

You may get tinea felis, so you should apply some new products to treat beriberi, or apply iodine directly, or get more sunshine, and it will be fine after a while.

3. Choose a suitable wool washing solution.

Cat's skin is neutral, so we should use shampoo for pets, not alkaline shampoo for people.

Some people even use disinfectants such as drops, which are chemically harmful liquids and should never be used on cats.

Because these substances will damage the cat's skin, cause allergies and lead to hair removal.

4. Moderate sunlight can help cats absorb ultraviolet rays.

Sunbathing can make cats' skin and hair healthier. All cats like to bask in the sun, but it's ok to get ready.

In a cool place, the time should not be too long to avoid sunburn or dehydration.
