Cats appear fluffy in winter because their fur becomes thicker and more abundant. In autumn, to protect against the cold temperatures, cats begin to grow a lot of fine, soft downy fur that provides warmth. This downy fur becomes even thicker and helps to keep them warm. Some long-haired cats even look like they are wearing a scarf, which makes their fur appear even fluffier.
To prevent static electricity and tangles in a cat's fur during winter, it's important to brush it frequently. Cats' fur is prone to tangling in winter, so cat owners should prepare a special comb for their cats. Start brushing from the cat's back, then move to its limbs. Regular brushing stimulates the cat's fur and skin, which is beneficial for its coat.
Supplementing nutrition during winter involves feeding cats more protein-rich foods, which helps them generate heat for warmth and is also beneficial for their coat. In addition to feeding them natural, high-quality cat food, pay attention to supplementing their diet with protein, taurine, fatty acids (insufficient intake can lead to deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and skin and coat diseases), biotin (one of the most important vitamins for maintaining healthy animal skin and coat, and also directly related to the nervous system), isoleucine, vitamin B3, methionine, and cysteine, all of which play an important role in the healthy coat of kittens.
