CATDOLL : How to prevent cat hair from tangling?

Why does a cat's hair tangle into clumps?

1. Lack of daily care: Cats' hair is prone to tangling, often because the owner does not comb the cat's hair regularly. Ignoring the maintenance of the hair causes the hair to get tangled. Especially after the cat's hair gets wet, if it is not wiped dry in time, the moisture will cause the hair to stick together and form clumps.

2. Malnutrition: A cat’s coarse and tangled fur may also be caused by improper diet. If a cat’s diet lacks necessary nutrients, such as vitamins and protein, it may affect the health of the fur, causing it to lose its luster and become dry, making it more prone to tangling.

3. Improper bathing methods: Using bathing products that are not suitable for cats may also cause hair problems. Shower gels used by humans may be harmful to cats' skin and hair. Long-term use may damage the hair, making it rough and prone to clumping.

How to solve the problem of cat hair tangling?

1. Combing hair: When you find that the cat's hair is tangled and there is hair loss, you should first use a comb designed for pets to comb the hair to remove dead hair and reduce clumps. Be gentle during the combing process to avoid hurting the cat's skin.

2. Nutritional supplement: If the tangles are caused by malnutrition, the necessary nutrients should be supplemented by adjusting the cat's diet. You can increase the intake of foods such as chicken, lamb, beef, egg yolks and fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids. At the same time, you can add lecithin to the cat's food to help the healthy growth of hair.

3. Proper maintenance: Regular bathing can help remove dirt from your cat's fur, keep it clean, and reduce the possibility of clumping. But you should use a shower gel designed specifically for cats and avoid using human bath products.
