When pet owners first raised cats, they did not know that cats would shed hair. It is normal for cats to shed hair. If the hair loss is too severe, they probably need to find out what the problem is. What are the reasons for severe hair loss in cats? What? Let’s take a look today.

1. Caused by seasonal changes

Every spring and autumn is the cat’s shedding season. At this time, cats will shed a lot of hair due to the secretion of hormones.

Method: There is no way to stop this. Pet owners can comb it more, otherwise the house will be full of cat hair.

2. Causes of skin diseases

If a cat suffers from a skin disease, its hair will fall off easily, and the hair will fall out in large areas. If the pet owner finds that the cat is bald somewhere, and the skin is red, swollen, and crusted, he must take the cat to the doctor in time.

Method: Deworm the cat regularly, let the cat bask in the sun more, and keep the living environment clean and tidy.

3. Unreasonable bathing

Cats have a strong sense of self-cleaning and will lick their own fur when nothing happens. They do not need to be bathed too much. If pet owners bathe their cats frequently, the oils on the skin will be destroyed, which will also lead to large areas of hair loss. In addition, using the wrong bath products can also affect the cat's skin health and cause the cat to shed hair.

Method: Domestic cats are generally washed once every 2 to 3 months. They can also be washed once every six months if they do not go out. After bathing, the hair should be dried. It is better to use special cat bath products.

4. Hair loss caused by stress

We humans tend to lose hair when we are stressed, and the same is true for cats. If cats live a stressful life, they will also lose a lot of hair. Some cats will also lick their fur frequently, causing partial hair loss.

Method: Pet owners should play with their cats more often to reduce the stress of their cats’ lives. They can use some snacks to interact with their cats.

5. Malnutrition leads to hair loss

Cat’s hair also needs nutrients to grow shiny and soft. If a cat is malnourished, grows very thin, and does not receive nutrients, it is easy to lose a lot of hair.

Method: Pet owners must supplement their cats with different nutrients to ensure balanced nutrition. They can feed their cats some hair-beautifying foods such as salmon and egg yolks, or buy some lecithin to help their cats beautify their hair.

6. Eating too salty

Cats eat wellToo salty and excessive salt intake will not only put pressure on the cat’s kidneys, but will also cause the cat’s hair to dry out and shed a lot. Do not give your cat food that is too salty, and change the food in time.

Method: When pet owners choose cat food for their cats, they must choose a light, low-salt cat food, preferably one with a hair-beautifying effect, as the main food.
