How to distinguish natural cat hair loss from abnormal hair loss?

Hair loss can have various reasons. It may be normal or one of the symptoms of your cat's illness. To determine whether your cat's hair loss is normal or there is a problem, you should also pay attention to other symptoms in the cat. If you see the following symptoms in your cat, you should suspect the cat's skin disease and take the cat to the vet or consult a vet online:


  • Constant scratching of the body by the cat (itching in the cat)

  • Excessive body licking by cats

  • Chewing the skin

  • Dandruff

  • Redness and inflammation

  • Local hair loss or balding of a part of the body

  • Skin discoloration

  • Skin rashes and scabs

  • Lethargy and anorexia of the cat



How to reduce the hair loss of our cat?

If your cat is one of the mobile cats such as Persian cat and Himalayan cat, you may witness severe hair loss without having any special disease or problem, and this hair loss can be annoying.


Although there is no cure for natural hair loss in cats and it cannot be fixed, don't worry, there are ways to reduce this hair loss or make it less bothersome:


Suitable food for cats

Give the cat balanced food or prepare dry food for skin and hair care. These foods contain vitamins and essential fatty acids (omega 3 and 6) for hair growth and reduce hair loss by strengthening hair roots.


Daily brushing

Daily brushing of cats does not reduce their hair loss, but it makes the dead hairs that fall and get stuck to other hairs, come out with brushing and do not spread on the surface of the house. Brushing cat hair has other benefits besides controlling hair at home. For example, it keeps the skin and hair healthy and the cat feels closer to you.


Cut the cat's hair

The hair of cats, especially the fur breeds, is constantly growing. Hair loss in mohair cats is much, much more than cats with short hair. It is true that no matter how much you cut your cat's hair, it will still grow, but every time you cut your cat's hair, you will get rid of your cat's hair loss for up to 3 months.


In addition, keeping cats' hair short reduces the risk of skin and hair diseases in them. Never use scissors to cut the cat's hair, because the skin of cats is elastic, unlike our skin, and there is a high possibility that you will cut the skin with scissors by mistake.

The best way to cut a cat's hair is to visit a groomer with animal experience.


Vacuuming the house and using a roller to collect cat hair from the house

If the cat's hair is scattered in the house and cuts your hair, you can get rid of it by sweeping and using rollers to collect the hair.

Put the vacuum cleaner on the last level and sweep the floor and carpets with it. If you do vacuuming on a daily basis, it will greatly reduce the amount of hair shed in your blood.

Use a roller to collect the hair from the sofa, clothes, curtains and all the places where the hair is stuck to.

Rolly, roller or lint remover is a device made of several layers of glue and by moving it on the surface, the hair sticks to the sticky surface and you throw that layer away.

The rolls have different sizes and are used to collect cat hair
