When many pet owners first raise cats, they don’t know that cats will shed hair. In fact, it is normal for cats to shed hair, but if the shed hair is too serious, they probably need to find out what the problem is. So, what is the cause of hair loss on the kitten? Let’s take a look together.

1. Skin disease

If a kitten has a piece of hair loss on his body, itching, scabs, dandruff, etc., it is considered to be caused by skin diseases. Common diseases include ringworm, pyoderma and scabies mite infection. It is recommended that the owner send the cat to a pet hospital for skin scraping examination in time, and use symptomatic medication after confirming the type of infection. Also note that there are many fungi and bacteria in the normal environment of cats, so the cat's own resistance is also needed during the treatment process.

2. Malnutrition

If a cat eats single-ingredient food for a long time, resulting in malnutrition in the body and lack of certain elements, large-scale hair loss will occur. At this time, the owner needs to adjust the cat's diet structure in time, choose foods rich in nutrients, and give the cat lecithin or fish oil to further supplement the fatty acids on the skin. At the same time, the owner can comb the cat's hair at home to reduce hair loss.

3. Seasonal Hair Change

Since cats are seasonal Hair Change animals, they will also experience a large amount of hair loss in the Spring and Autumn Period. This is a normal seasonal hair change. The owner does not need to worry too much. You can help the cat to comb the floating hair off the body and feed the hair cream to help the cat comb the excess aging hair, and speed up the cat's hair replacement process.
