How to deal with cats' shedding period

1. Comb your cat’s hair

It is best to start combing your cat's hair when it is young. The advantage of doing so is that it can reduce the amount of hair loss of the cat, and most of the cat hair has been cleaned during the combing process. Many cats also enjoy the process of combing their hair, so combing the cat's hair can also enhance the relationship between the owner and the cat.

2. Clean frequently

Regardless of whether the cat is in the molting period or not, there will definitely be cat hair in the house. Cats molt to adapt to the change of seasons, so the owner should pay special attention to indoor cleaning in spring and autumn.

3. Improve nutrition

When a cat's body resistance is reduced, it will also shed a lot of hair. Strengthening the cat's physique will also help reduce the amount of hair loss.

4. Take a proper bath

During the molting period, a lot of cat hair will be washed away by bathing. But you need to be careful when bathing. First, you should use a special pet shower gel to bathe your cat. Because cats' skin is neutral, and human shampoo and shower gel are mostly alkaline, which is very harmful to cats' fur.

Cat's shedding time

1. Generally, it happens twice a year, concentrated in spring and autumn. During the season change, long-haired cats and short-haired cats have to adapt to the temperature changes, and they will have self-regulation reactions, which is what we call hair loss.

2. Before summer arrives, cats will shed their thick, warm, long fur in advance to adapt to the hot summer weather. Before winter arrives, cats will grow thick fur again to achieve a warming effect.
