4. Supplementing cats with fish oil can make their fur thick and shiny, and can also provide cats with the nutrients needed for their skin, thereby promoting cat fur growth and reducing hair loss. Fish oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and can also help repair damaged skin cells of cats.

5. If a cat suffers from severe hair loss, it is likely due to lack of nutrition. In this case, pet owners can supplement their cats with vitamins, which can restore the luster of the cat's hair and reduce hair loss.

Tips for grooming your American Shorthair cat:

1. Let your cat get used to combing its hair from an early age. When the cat is young, you can use a soft toothbrush to gently comb its hair. The brush head of the toothbrush is like the mother cat's tongue, which will remind the cat of the feeling of being licked by the mother cat. When the cat grows up, you can use a comb to comb its hair, and it will not be so repulsive.

2. Buy a suitable comb from a regular manufacturer. Poor-quality combs can easily cause damage to your cat's skin.

3. Comb the cat when it is relaxed. Before combing, you can stroke the cat's chin to let it let down its guard. You can also put the comb around the cat to let it get familiar with the smell of the comb. If the cat is a little impatient, you must not pull its hair hard. You can link combing with a reward mechanism, give the cat some snacks or let it play for a while, and continue combing when it is tired and relaxed.
