Re: Dandruff?


Tanya mentioned talcum powder in her post. I use sterilised talc on some of my Persians that I show. It is used to help seperate the individual hairs and lift the coat giving it plenty of volume.

Hope this clears this up for you Tanya.

Re: Dandruff?


Hey,

This may come as a surprise to you, but cat dandruff is very common. It's a condition where your cat develops excessive dry itchy dead skin. Not fun at all!

But, fortunately ,there are a few things that can be done to help your cat:

1. Give your cat a bath, with cats shampoo, of course, not human's. Do that every few months.
2. Weight lose program - if your cat suffers from overweight, you need to pay attention to how much she is eating.
3. Don't let her stay out in the sun too long - not all body parts are covered with fur, and these parts, when they are exposed to the sun, can make your cat's skin very dry.
4. Fireplace can also make a cat's fur very dry, because of the heat.
5. Lack of fatty acids and water content in the cat's diet - it's important to buy your cat high quality food, and you can add small amounts of Tuna for Omega3 (not too much).

Hope my information was helpful
