Cat hair mixed with white dander may be because the cat’s skin is too dry, so it has lost some keratinocytes, which is the white dander we see. Secondly, it may be because cats suffer from skin diseases, so they will have a lot of dandruff and accompanying hair loss. In addition, if the owner bathes the cat too frequently or uses inappropriate shower gel, it will also cause damage to the cat's skin and hair follicles, resulting in dandruff on the cat's skin and hair loss.

1. The skin is too dry

If the cat’s daily living environment is too dry, causing the cat’s skin to become dry and flaky, causing itching and causing the cat to scratch, some dander will be produced. However, cats in this situation generally shed less dandruff. The owner can try to use a warm towel to wet the cat, or add a humidifier to relieve the cat's dry skin condition.

2. Skin diseases

Skin diseases caused by parasitic infections, bacterial infections, and fungal infections can cause cats to lose hair and dandruff, and may also be accompanied by severe itching. The owner can open the cat's hair and check. If the cat has red skin, round or oval tinea spots on the skin, scabs and other symptoms, it is likely to have a skin disease. At this time, the owner needs to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination in time to find out the specific cause, and then treat it symptomatically.

3. Improper bathing

The pH of the skin of humans and cats is different. If the owner uses human shower gel on the cat for a long time, it may cause the cat to lose hair, have dandruff, and have rough, dull hair. In addition, if the owner bathes the cat frequently, it will also damage the surface of the cat's skin, causing the cat to lose hair and have dandruff. Therefore, it is recommended that owners use pet-specific shower gel when bathing their cats, and not bathe their cats too frequently. It is generally recommended to bathe their cats once every 1-2 months.
