A cat's gills will not retract, but if the cat's food is poor in nutrition, the cat may gradually lose weight, which will have an impact on the cat's gills. Owners can help cats strengthen their nutrition, choose some cat food with high protein content, and prepare some high-protein meat.

Cat hair and cheek care methods:

1. Supplement nutrition. You can feed cats canned cats, cooked eggs, high-temperature sterilized beef, etc. to help them improve their nutritional levels.

2. Feed high-quality cat food. Purchasing high-quality cat food with a protein content of more than 35% and feeding small meals frequently is more conducive to cat gills.

3. Moderate exercise. During the period when cats have hairy cheeks, they need to do some moderate exercise to promote the cat’s metabolism and help with the transfer of nutrients.

4. Pinch the cat’s cheek. You can pinch the cat's cheeks regularly to promote hair growth.

5. Master the time of sterilization. After sterilization, the hormone content in the body decreases, which in turn affects the development of the gills.

6. Regularly deworm. The parasites will attach themselves to the cat's body and continuously suck nutrients. The cat will gradually lose weight after eating normally, and the body's disease resistance will decrease.
