    My cat is 15 years old and I’ve recently seen her loose a lot of hair on her belly showing her pink skin and now her four legs are showing patches of hair loss. There’s nothing wrong with the skin underneath, it doesn’t looks infected she’s just losing alot of hair. Should I take her to the vet soon?

    I don’t think you’ll answer but whenever our cats has been losing hair like crazy, not just in the summer in winter she has a ton of ball spots like her tail is basically bald bald I don’t know if we should take her to a vet
    Only thing would be is her little poor and it’s very expensive and if we’re wrong, that would be an expensive trip

    • @catmagic2226

      Yes they catch the skin up and that's why some cats get mad when u touch them, esp.around hips and lower back by the base of tail.
      I use my fingers to gently un twist the fur, starting close to the skin.
      It takes some practice but eventually you learn how to gently move their skin to unravel matts.
      Matting can cause cats to become depressed, or even mean because being touched hurts them.
      A cat's fur pattern is spiral, which is why only the lightest brushing over the very tips of fur is tolerated.
      Up under the chest and front legs is another area easily matted.
      It took me a long time to figure out how to remove matting without causing pain but now I dont get scratched anymore and I no longer worry about being unable to help my cats.
      If u hurt them u cant help them, so go slow, be very gentle and patient, and just do a little at a time.
      Grooming should never hurt, but u have to learn about the movement of your cat's skin and the growth pattern of her fur to properly remove matts.

    • @johnopalko5223
      @johnopalko5223 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Slight matting can be worked out with a brush or your fingers. Severe matting is best handled by a vet or a professional groomer. Do NOT cut the mats off with scissors. It's way too easy to cut the cat's skin.
      Brush your cat regularly to prevent mats from forming in the first place.
      And, yes, mats can be very uncomfortable, even painful, for the cat.

    • @themadsamplist
      @themadsamplist 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, it even can cause wounds on the skin. I had an older cat wich had that problem late in life. The only thing that really helped were scissors and just cutting it away.

    Whiskers. Sometimes my persian drops her whiskers.

    • @AnimalWised
      @AnimalWised  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi, hair loss can be caused by stress as well as various physical health issues. However, as with the rest of their fur, dropping their whiskers is also a natural part of their shedding. Shedding/molting usually happens twice a year, but can occur throughout. It's important to observe our cats for any other symptoms which might indicate stress or an underlying health issue.

Only took 3 weeks iam so happy i can stroke her more now. I always buy the whiskers food now.

      @Syed Mohd gulam Asghar,
      I have 3 rescued cats. 2 of them did not like to be brushed. Now they all 3 love it.
      At first, I would wait until they were laying down and start brushing slow and gently for short periods of time.
      By about the third time they would all lay down, stretched out and loved it.
      I use a woman's hair brush, made of 100% natural boar bristle "full round", exactly like this one:
      smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MZFDQPG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
      If you use the wrong kind of brush it may hurt them.
      I hope this is helpful for your kitty, it has worked for me for years.. ATB

    • @joyfulnoise2477
      @joyfulnoise2477 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I hope he's better by now. Almost all cats hate being in water and getting baths. Cat baths are usually not recommended; they groom themselves so well they don't need baths. But if kitty had a run in with a skunk or needs a bath for medical reasons, be sure to towel dry afterwards. Do NOT blow dry! Also, wrapping them in a towel afterward might help them get warm and settle down.

      Hii. This tip might help. You may consider to brush your cat's hair coat as regular as possible. Also they tend to shed alot when it's warm weather. My 2 british short hairs have less hair loss as they are both used of these kind of grooming. You can aswell used a furminator ( its like a brush and also cuts the excess hair of your cat)
