Why does your cat shed a lot of hair?

Perchè il tuo gatto perde molto pelo?

Is your cat shedding a lot of hair and you don't know why? Well, we'll help you find out some of the most common causes

the first of the reasons could simply be a seasonal moult in autumn and spring. During these periods your cat will lose old fur to make room for new fur. Has this moult lasted a long time? Don't worry, it's completely normal, your cat is just taking longer to adapt to the climate change

Infections and/or parasites can cause itching or irritation, leading to subsequent hair loss.

Allergy problems can cause intense itching, or you may even notice your cat scratching itself with its teeth or pulling out its hair with its mouth in moments of apparent calm, or hormonal problems that simply cause hair loss.

What if your cat is stressed?!? A bored cat, a lonely cat, a cat unaccustomed to playing, will be a stressed cat. But stress could be caused by a change of home, moving, the entry of another cat or dog, the arrival of a child or a new member of the family, a change in the arrangement of the furniture.

Make sure your cat is always flea-treated, has a balanced diet, has blood tests, and is a calm and happy cat.
