🐾 7 key care points for cats during molting season・Detailed introduction

Every year, as spring turns to autumn, cats often notice a blanket of fur in their homes. ❄️ Sofas, clothes, bedsheets, and even bowls are covered in their fur. This is actually molting season for cats! Shedding is a natural physiological process, a way for them to adapt to the changing climate. However, if cats aren't properly cared for, they can develop hairballs and skin problems, turning their homes into a "fur hell." 😿 Today, I've compiled seven key care tips for your cat during molting season , explaining them in detail and sharing my personal experience so you can easily help your cat weather this "fur storm."

🌟 Key point 1: Comb your dog's hair regularly every day

"Comb away dead hair to reduce ingestion"

• During the molting season, hair falls out particularly heavily, and regular combing can effectively remove dead hair.
• Reduce the risk of hairballs by swallowing too much hair when licking your pet's fur.
• It can also promote blood circulation, making hair healthier and more shiny✨.

Editor’s experience: My cat at home can produce a mini fur ball every time I comb it in the spring, which makes me feel so satisfied 😹.

🐱 Key point 2: Choose the right comb

"Different hair lengths, use different tools"

• Short-haired cats: Use rubber gloves and a short-needle brush to easily remove dead hair.
• Long-haired cats: Use a steel needle comb or a row comb to avoid tangles.
• During the shedding season, you can use a depilatory comb for more significant results.

Our advice: Don't buy a cheap comb, as it can easily scratch your skin. Invest in a good comb that's comfortable for you and easy to clean.

😺 Key point 3: Strengthen dietary nutrition

"Maintaining beautiful fur from the inside out"

• Provides high-quality animal protein to maintain healthy hair follicles🥩.
• Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids help improve skin condition and reduce hair loss.
• You can consider supplementing with fish oil (under doctor's advice), but avoid excessive intake.

Editor's observation: After eating food containing fish oil, the master's fur color is indeed brighter and feels much smoother.

💧 Key Point 4: Ensure adequate drinking water

"Sufficient moisture means healthy skin"

• Lack of water will dry out your skin and make hair loss worse.
• Drinking more water can also help expel hairballs and reduce gastrointestinal pressure.
• It is recommended to use a water dispenser 💦 or place a few more water bowls to attract the owner to drink water.

Editor's experience: After using the water machine, the pet's water intake increased, and the number of hairballs vomited during the molting season was greatly reduced.

🐾 Key Point 5: Environmental cleaning should be strengthened

"Minions cleaning is equal to daily practice"

• During shedding season, clean floors, sofas and bed sheets more frequently.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or lint roller to reduce hair buildup.
• Keep the air circulating to avoid excessive dust affecting breathing.

Editor’s thoughts: At this time of year, I basically “don’t buy sweaters” because I have to roll them with lint remover strips before going out 😂.

🛁 Key point 6: Take a proper bath or wipe the fur with a wet cloth

"You don't have to wash it every day, but it should be done in moderation."

• Cats usually don't need frequent bathing, but they can be bathed moderately during the shedding season to help remove dead hair.
• If you don't want to bathe your pet, you can wipe its fur gently with a damp cloth or pet-specific wet wipes.
• Remember to use a mild cat shampoo to avoid drying out the skin.

Editor’s experience: Blowing a long-haired cat’s hair after a bath is really a test of your patience, but after drying, the hair becomes super fluffy and the healing effect is Max 😍.

😻 Key Point 7: Preventing Hairballs

The biggest concern during the molting season

• When kittens lick their fur, they swallow a lot of hair, which can easily accumulate in their stomachs and intestines and form hairballs.
• Symptoms include frequent retching, loss of appetite, and constipation.
• You can feed hairball paste regularly, or choose hairball formula dry food to help excrete.

Editor's reminder: If your pet frequently retches but cannot vomit out hairballs, or has a decreased appetite, you must see a doctor as soon as possible to avoid blockage.
