Cats shed a lot of hair, usually due to seasonal hair loss, pathological hair loss, lack of nutrients or elements, etc. If there are no symptoms such as redness or itching on the cat, it should be normal hair loss caused by the change of seasons, which will be more obvious in spring and autumn. However, if the cat has a large amount of partial hair loss and also has symptoms of scabs, dandruff, and itching, the cat is more likely to suffer from skin diseases. In addition, if the cat’s food lacks nutrients such as unsaturated fatty acids and lecithin, it will also cause hair loss in cats. ​​​​​​

　1. Shedding during seasons

Cat hair loss is a relatively normal phenomenon, especially in spring and autumn. For example, in spring, a cat's moulting period will last about 1-3 months. Due to changes in temperature, a large amount of fluff on the cat's body will fall off to help dissipate heat. At this time, the cat owner only needs to use a needle comb to comb the cat's hair every day, and can also prepare some hair removal cream and cat grass for the cat.

2. Skin disease and hair loss

If a cat has a large amount of hair loss on a specific part of its body, it is generally considered to be caused by a skin disease. Parasitic infections, bacterial infections, and fungal infections can all cause severe hair loss in cats. You can go to a pet hospital for a skin scraping examination to confirm the diagnosis.

3. Hair loss caused by lack of nutrients or elements

Lack of nutrients such as unsaturated fatty acids and lecithin can also cause non-physiological hair loss in cats. At the same time, the cat's hair will also lose its luster and become rougher. At this time, the owner can give the cat some eggs and other foods that supplement lecithin, and can also feed salmon to supplement fatty acids.
