Salt is one of the taboos in cat food. Cats have very little demand for salt, and cats have a poor sense of taste. Excessive salt will not only burden the cat’s kidneys, but also cause dryness and hair loss in the cat’s hair.

A well-nourished cat should have smooth and shiny hair. If the hair is dry and dull, easy to break and fall off, it may be due to malnutrition. Cats with weak gastrointestinal function, long hair, and a single diet are prone to hair loss.
