When long-haired cats and short-haired cats lose their hair, young cats will undergo a hair replacement process that lasts for several months, and cats will also lose hair due to various reasons after they grow up. The following is a summary of some of the most common reasons for cats to lose hair, for reference by your owners:

1. Normal physiological hair loss: This situation usually occurs when the climate changes in many years. Because the climate changes greatly, cats can only achieve hair loss by better adapting to new temperature changes. In summer, cats' hair will fall off and become thinner, making life more comfortable in summer; in winter, thick and thick hair will grow, helping to keep your body temperature lower than the cold.

2. Hair loss caused by malnutrition: We all know that only when cats are healthy can their bodies be strong and their hairs are shiny and smooth. If the body lacks nutrition, the cat's physical development and growth will inevitably be affected. Of course, hair loss is not uncommon, and cats' hair will become rough and matte.

3. Skin diseases can cause hair loss for cats: for example, serious skin diseases caused by lice and fleas; or cats suffering from ringworm will lead to a large amount of hair loss, and there is dander at the roots of the hair, fragile hair quality will be removed, and even naked skin will appear.

There are many reasons for cats to lose hair. Of course, there is no need to worry about normal physiological hair loss. But if other reasons cause the pet cat to shed hair, then it should be taken to the hospital for examination and then treated. Especially diseases such as ringworm, it is more contagious. Once a cat is found to be infected with ringworm, it must be isolated. Do not let sick cats come into contact with other healthy cats to prevent ringworm from spreading.
