Cat Losing Fur?

There are many reasons for a  cat  losing fur. With cats, the problem can be caused by a number of factors.  The number one cause of itching, allergies, a cat losing fur is because the cats is an allergy to flea saliva, while bad odors have numerous causes.  Hair loss and bad odor is always a sign of a health problem.  A trip to the veterinarian is essential in determining the specific cause.  Your veterinarian may discover changes in your cat's health that you have overlooked. It is always better to contact your vet just to be safe. 

Cat losing fur can also come down to something as simple as grooming.  Cats keep clean by licking themselves - but not every cat is an expert, particularly overweight cats! Since cats are so clean, they tend to prevent a lot of problems.

Excessive licking, which can lead to acat losing fur, is considered a displacement behavior but can be greatly reduced by calming and comforting your cat.  It can sometimes become habitual if the source of the problem is not properly identified and addressed. Have there been any changes in the house recently?

  A recent move, the addition or loss of another pet in the home, or even a change of schedule can cause anxiety in the cat.  Try to set aside some extra time every day just to play with your cat, pet her and talk to her.  That will help reduce her stress and hopefully help to resolve her excessive licking problemas well as the cat losing fur.

If your pet is nervous by nature, she may be chewing herself raw or just losing hair from stress.   A flea eating the flesh causes animals to become stressed if they have had problems with them for a little while and have had to handle the itch with constant scratching. 

Your cat losing fur in only certain areas could be a symptom that possibly indicates ringworm, but it could also indicate other skin conditions/allergies or health problems. If the lesions are all over her body, the vet is definitely the best one to advise you, make a diagnosis, and prescribe a treatment.

Another cause for a cat losing fur is simply a part of the process of aging.

Fur $103.56 Fur is a synonym for hair, used more commonly in reference to nonhuman animals, usually mammals; particularly those with extensive body hair coverage. The term is sometimes used to refer to the body hair of an animal as a complete coat, also known as the pelage. Fur is also used to refer to animal pelts which have been processed into leather with the hair still attached. The words fur or furry are also used, more casually, to refer to hairlike growths or formations; particularly when the subject being referred to exhibits a dense coat of fine, soft hairs. Animal fur, if layered, rather than grown as a single coat, may consist of short ground hair, long guard hair, and, in some cases, medium awn hair. Mammals with reduced amounts of fur are often called naked, as in The Naked Ape, naked mole rat, and naked dogs. The acquisition and use of fur as clothing and/or decoration is considered controversial in some cultures. Animal welfare advocates object to the trapping and killing of wildlife, and the confinement and killing of animals on fur farms. An animal with commercially valuable fur is known within the fur industry as a furbearer. (See fur clothing).

Rabbit Hair $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Rabbit hair (also called rabbit fur, cony, comb, coney or lapin) is the fur of the common or Angora rabbit. It is most commonly used in the making of fur hats and coats, and is considered quite valuable. The hair of a rabbit can be divided into three types: guide hairs: external hairs, long and rough guard hairs (also called barbes ): four guard hairs surround each guide hair, sealing the coat down: there are around sixty down hairs for each guide hair; they are very short and barely visible, and serve to insulate the rabbit. A selectively bred rabbit from the 1900s, the Castor Rex, has no guard hairs, but this is atypical. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
