Cat Is Losing Hair?

cat with bald spotMy short haired cat seems to molt excessively all year round. It is driving me crazy. Is combing her regularly actually encouraging the growth as its getting to the point when I'm starting to believe she is molting on purpose just to wind me up or get extra attention? Haha!

I would buy a bottle of Vetricyn, and see if the cat will let you spray the itchy spots with it. Next, I would pour a small amount of coconut or olive oil in her food or give it plain. 1/4 tsp or so. Then I would switch to a no grain food such as Rachel Ray or other non corn based food. Finally I would feed the cat a formula made of evaporated milk with a bit of water added ( I usually mix one can of evaporated milk with one can of water. I add a couple of eggyolks (no whites) a tsp. of corn syrup, and about five or so drops of baby vitamin drops. Some people like to put gelatin in with this mix. Put in shakable container ( I use a large coke bottle) and place in the fridge.

Shake well before using. Give the cat a small dish or bowl of this every morning. If this helps that is great. He might have roundworms or mites. There are over the counter wormers which work on roundworms such as Nemex. I would start sprinkling his litter everyday with food grade diatomaceous earth from the Farm Supply store or off of eBay.Maybe these remedies will help him feel a lot better. It could not hurt to sprinkle some food grade diatomaceous earth on his coat as well every few days. Send me a message for dosages if you have any questions. We rescue tons of kittens.

Thank you for your information, but fortunately, Socks' only problem is more mine than hers. She is purrfectly well, but she just sheds sooooo much hair ALL THE TIME.

Perhaps its just a natural characteristic of her breed.
With past cats they would moult perhaps once/twice a year, but this is daily and people have commented yet she has no bald patches.

Generally speaking, this is a diet issue. Excessive shedding, dry skin and non-shiny fur are often caused by lack of fats in the diet, especially omega 3's. These can be bought and added to the food. Often changing to a higher quality food with fewer fillers or grain-free solves the issue.
