CATDOLL : Cats are losing a lot of hair

Reasons why cats lose hair severely:

1. Seasonal hair loss

Cats will experience hair loss all over their body during normal seasonal molting. Different cat breeds may shed hair at different times, and some cats shed hair severely all year round.

2. Malnutrition

Malnutrition can cause pathological hair loss all over the body, causing the hair to lose its luster and the cat to become thin.

3. Skin infection

Bathing your cat frequently can easily destroy the substances secreted by your cat to protect its skin and hair, causing your cat to suffer from fungal or bacterial skin diseases, resulting in severe hair loss.

4. Parasitic infection

When cats are infected with parasites inside or outside their bodies, they will suffer from malnutrition, physical discomfort, and serious hair loss problems.

5. Eating inappropriate food

Cats cannot eat too much food with some seasonings and salt, as this will cause them to consume too much salt and suffer severe hair loss.

What to do if your cat is losing hair severely:

1. You don’t need to worry too much about your cat’s physical condition during seasonal hair loss, as the hair loss will ease after the molting period.

2. Need to supplement the corresponding nutrition. When choosing cat food for cats, it is recommended to choose cat food with 38-45% protein, only in this way can the nutritional needs of cats be met.

3. If you notice anything wrong with your cat’s skin, seek medical attention promptly and do not bathe your cat too frequently.

4. Regularly deworm your cat internally and externally. It is recommended to deworm your cat internally every 4-6 months and externally every 2-5 months.

5. Pay attention to your cat's diet. Do not feed your cat human food for a long time. You can feed your cat some cat snacks to satisfy its cravings.
