RE: Cat is Losing Hair and has Dandruff
Well, I am not sure why it is happening to your cat, but this is also happening to my cat. He is 7 years old. He has skin missing on his arms. He is a very troublesome cat because he is fat and has asthma.
I believe this is happening because your cat may have some kind of skin problem. I don't think it is really big but in this case if you wish you could take him to the vet. If this problem gets worse and you do not take him or her to the vet, put something on it if your cat will allow u. If your cat tries to lick it off, you might HAVE to take your cat to the vet. (MY CAT HAS SO much DANDRUFF).

RE: Cat is Losing Hair and has Dandruff
Our cat is almost 22 and he has just started losing fur. It is more like a thinning on his back, but his tail has lost clumps. I think it is probably old age for our cat, but if he was young I would be very concerned and would take him to the vet right away.

First, check for fleas or mange. Is the fur just falling out on it's own, or is your cat overgrooming itself? If it's just falling out... there are too many things it could be, alergies, disease, illness, or stress- get your kitty to a vet. If the hair loss is due to overgrooming, it could be fleas, stress, or just itchy skin- kitty needs a bath with oatmeal and then try a half cup of apple cider vinegar diluted with half a cup of water in a spray bottle. Mist your kitty with it every few weeks and rub it into his skin. (The smell will go away once it dries.) The vinegar will stop kitty from overgrooming, will clear up dandruff, kill fleas, stop the itchies, and make the fur shiny. I use it on my kitty for his overgrooming, and on myself to stop dandruff, it really works great!

Please take it to the vet! Mine did that and turns out she had kidney disease. Did not act sick but had I caught it earlier she may have lived.

Please take your kitty to the vet. This happened to a cat I had, and when I took him to the vet, it turned out he had diabetes. It was basically too late, and we never even had time to get his insulin regulated. He went into a ketoacidotic crisis a week later and died.

This happened to my ex-husband's cat. He didn't take Ashes to the vet and she got worse and worse, losing hair and weight, and she died. :(
This is not normal -- take her in to the veterinarian for an exam ASAP.

I dont have any tips for the lost hair but any pet shampoo which contains oatmeal does wonders for animal dandruff. My black cat had quite a lot of dandruff. After an oatmeal bath a year ago the dandruff has been absent.

One of my friends owned a cat that was losing fur and she had a vet look at it. Her cat was vitamin deficient and after a few treatments, her cat was beginning to develop new fur. Her cat was old too.

My cat has developed the same problem in the past year but he is 24 years old, so in his case I think it is just old age.
