Many cat owners do not know whether their pets' shedding is normal, so they often worry about it.
However, it is possible to simply correctly determine the cause of hair loss.
Some of them are not particularly worrisome and require minimal human attention.
Why does a cat shed actively?
Spring
It is worth remembering that with the onset of warm weather, the cat begins to actively lose hair. This is considered an absolutely normal phenomenon.
Experts note that this period lasts about 14 days. At such times, you just need to brush your pet more often.
Winter
An interesting fact is that even in winter cats shed, but this is not related to the season. The reason is dry air and heating.
To solve the problem, you need to increase the humidity in your home.
Food quality
Don't underestimate the importance of food in your pet's health. If you buy quality food and don't forget about vitamins, the fur will always look decent.
However, when using cheap food, the coat may fall out and look bad.
Nervous tension
Surely you know that people can lose hair due to nervous tension. Cats also have a similar feature.
Therefore, you just need to establish the cause of your pet’s stress.
Parasites
If you haven't treated your pet for various parasites for a long time, it's time to do it. In this case, the animal will be healthy and beautiful.
