Cats may shed fur in winter or be malnourished.
A comparison of the fur of stray cats and pet cats clearly shows that nutrition is closely related to fur health. Insufficient nutrition can lead to dull, sparse fur and frequent shedding. Cats often shed more after illness or childbirth, also due to nutritional deficiencies. Therefore, cat owners must ensure their cats receive adequate nutrition and allow them plenty of sunshine on sunny days.
Cats may shed excessively in winter or have too much salt in their diet. Cats are obligate carnivores and eat raw meat, so highly flavorful and appealing foods are actually not good for them. Overly sweet or salty foods are not cats' favorites. Therefore, owners should feed their cats raw meat (paying attention to the healthiness of the raw meat) or cat-specific food, depending on their cat's health condition. It is especially important to avoid feeding cats human food. (The text then abruptly shifts to a different topic:) Cats may shed excessively in winter or have skin problems.In addition, if a cat is experiencing hair loss along with dandruff, scabs, or other skin conditions, it should be taken to a professional veterinary hospital immediately. Microscopic examination can confirm a skin disease, and appropriate medication should be applied according to the veterinarian's instructions to help the cat recover as quickly as possible.
