five ways to stop your cat from shedding
fur
being a cat owner isn't easy there's
always something getting thrown off a
shelf or something getting scratched up
and don't even get me started on the fur
oh god the fur
it's literally everywhere are you
finding cat hair on your clothes all
over the furniture or just floating
around in the air too or am i just
seeing things
we love our furry friends but wanna know
what we don't love fur shedding and with
the warm weather being one of the main
reasons behind shedding it's only going
to get worse over the summer
but hey look on the bright side your cat
might just let you pet it sometimes
if you're a human that is owned by a cat
then we understand your struggle
are you dealing with a chronic shedder
all cats except ones who are hairless
shed but the amounts vary according to
the length of hair time of year and
grooming habits
shedding is a normal and healthy way for
your cat to discard old skin cells and
hair follicles to make way for new ones
here are some proven methods that can
help reduce the amount of shedding and
make your vacuuming duties a little
easier
number one pay attention to their diet
this may seem odd at first but just
think about it this way your cat's fur
is just an extension of its body and if
you have a cat that's losing a lot of
fur or has a very dull hair coat you
need to start paying attention to his
diet and figure out if your cat is
lacking something nutritionally
if cats aren't getting the kind of
nutrition they need it can lead to a dry
and brittle coat with hair that is more
likely to break off and fall out
since cats are carnivores they need a
lot of protein in their diet ideally you
should be feeding your cat a diet that's
45 protein
one of the simplest changes you can make
is adding more omega-3 and omega-6 fatty
acids
omega-3s also improve the overall health
of the hair follicles which can decrease
the amount of hair that is shed
not only does this mean less fur on your
favorite couch but it also means fewer
hair balls for your cat and a healthier
coat
number two brush your cat regularly
this is the most effective way to reduce
your cat's shedding hair
as it helps to collect the fur before it
falls out brushing your cat regularly
can make all the difference in the world
it can effectively reduce the amount of
cat hair floating around
it can also help minimize hair balls
regular brushing removes dirt and dead
hair all of which contribute to
unhealthy skin and it prevents your cat
from getting matted hair
even though cats are pretty good at
grooming themselves a little help from
their human friends goes a long way
brushing your cat is also a great way to
bond with your fluffy friend since most
cats enjoy a good brushing but how often
should you brush your cat
we would recommend short brushing
sessions every day in order to minimize
shedding
it's also important to make sure that
your cat isn't being overwhelmed since
brushing can be stressful for some cats
number three keep your cat hydrated give
your cat water
sounds easy enough right
wrong
cats are notorious for not drinking
enough water so how do you keep your cat
hydrated
well the answer is quite simple actually
you can pull a sneaky one and make your
cat eat and drink at the same time
one of the easiest ways is to introduce
wet food into your cat's diet if your
cat is eating wet food which is highly
recommended they can get between 3.85 to
4.4 ounces of water from a single can
that's half their daily water right
there
a cat who is not getting enough water
can also develop dry skin and lose fur
more rapidly make sure to provide your
cats with fresh clean drinking water
preferably kept away from their food as
cats instinctively like to keep their
food separate from their water sources
the other option is to give your cat
water in a water bowl
typically a cat won't drink water from
its own bowl unless it feels safe it's
very important to place the bowl in a
place where your cat feels comfortable
letting its guard down
number four reduce stress
another common cause of excessive
shedding in cats is stress or anxiety
cats are incredibly sensitive to change
in their environment
like a sudden move or even a death in
the family while you may not be able to
make adjustments on major changes like
buying a house the best thing you can do
is support your cat through these
changes
the first step is to try and pinpoint
where the source of stress or anxiety
may be coming from
that way you can work to eliminate the
source of stress
it's important that your cat is mentally
and physically active
cat owners need to spend a good amount
of time playing with their cats
try taking out 50 minutes from your day
to bond with your cat it can be any way
from playing with toys or just petting
them the cherry on top of the cake is
that some of the things that can help
your cat stay calm will also reduce
shedding in other ways
for example brushing your cat can help
calm down an anxious kitty and get rid
of dead hair at the same time
number five consider a bath
you can try bathing your cat if you're
brave enough
when was the last time you noticed that
you were shedding it was probably in the
shower right
getting a good stream of running water
through your cat's coat with a feline
friendly shampoo can help remove dead
loose or dying hair which means once
they're out of the shower they won't
shed as much
making life a whole lot easier for you
at the end of the day shedding is just a
part of life if you're living with a cat
unless you're living with a hairless cat
you're bound to find fur on your
favorite sweater hopefully you and your
