Caking of cat hair may be caused by not combing the hair for a long time, suffering from skin diseases, improper bathing, etc. First of all, if the cat has no other abnormalities except for clumps of hair, it may be caused by not combing its hair for a long time. In this case, comb out the tangled hair after bathing the cat, and take care of the hair regularly. Secondly, if you find that your cat is also accompanied by symptoms such as itchy skin, dandruff, and alopecia areata, it may be suffering from a skin disease, and you need to take the cat to a pet hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Finally, if you find that your cat’s hair has become rough and dull, and there is hair loss, it may be caused by improper bathing.

1. The hair has not been combed for a long time

If the cat's hair has not been combed for a long time, it is easy to clump, especially for long-haired cats. Therefore, the owner should comb the cat's hair regularly and bathe it regularly. If it is a long-haired cat, the long-haired cat needs to be combed every day. When moulting every spring and autumn, the hair needs to be combed twice a day. At the same time, you can feed your cat some food rich in lecithin to help make its hair smooth.

2. Suffering from skin diseases

If the cat has skin itching, dandruff, alopecia areata and other symptoms in addition to clumps of hair, it may also be suffering from skin diseases, such as Cat moss, pony tail disease, etc. can all cause cat hair to become clumped. It is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for examination in time to determine what type of skin disease it is, and then apply symptomatic medication. In this case, the cat's clumped hair usually needs to be cut off, so the owner also needs to pay attention to keeping the cat warm to prevent the cat from catching cold.

3. Improper bathing

If the owner does not choose a shower gel suitable for the cat when bathing the cat, but directly uses human shower gel to bathe the cat, it will take a long time. It will cause the cat's hair to be damaged, become rough and dull, and cause the problem of cat hair clumping. If this happens for a long time, the cat will suffer from alopecia areata, losing hair in patches on its body, exposing its skin. Therefore, when bathing a cat, be sure to choose a pet-specific shower gel, and dry the cat's hair in time after the bath.
