In summer the cat sheds a lot of hair: here are our suggestions
In the summer months the cat loses its hair, here are some tips on how to help him eliminate excess hair and avoid having a house full of hair
Whoever has had a cat for a long time knows well that in the summer they will find their house strewn with hair because they know that in this period there’s a wetsuit, so he won’t worry. </ span> On the contrary, those who have adopted a cat for the first time have most likely been quite scared, perhaps thinking that it has fallen ill.
If you are part of this last category of owners, we tell you: don’t worry, there is nothing to worry about!
In the summer period it is normal for the cat to lose its fur.
Moulting in felines, both long- and short-haired, occurs twice a year: in autumn and summer, allowing them to adapt to climate change.
Every year, in fact, cats find themselves with a thicker and warmer coat in the winter months and a less thick and sparse one in the summer months.
Wetsuit in summer
Before giving you some suggestions on how to avoid the annoyance of seeing cat hair in your home, it must be said that the quantity of hair lost depends on the breed and not so much on the length.
Therefore, it may happen that you see short-haired cats losing hair as much as those with long coats, while other long-haired cats lose less than short-haired ones.
In any case, moulting occurs in all felines during some summer weeks. Therefore, those who have a cat will have to deal with the presence of hair on cushions, sofas, carpets as well as continuous fluttering strands on the floor.
How to help your cat remove excess fur
As you can imagine, it is important to help your cat remove hair, especially if it belongs to that feline type that sheds excess hair.
Although this is a practice that must always be performed assiduously throughout the year, brushing the fur during moulting should be done often< /strong>.
And so, by equipping yourself with a good brush you will help your cat get rid of excess hair.
His health is also at stake, because the cat, having the habit of licking itself to clean itself, tends to accumulate hairballs in its stomach. Which is why it often happens that you vomit to get rid of it.
This is why brushing him daily during moulting would prevent him from vomiting more than necessary. In reference to this, another suggestion we give you is to use catnip, which felines are crazy about, as it stimulates them to expel ingested hairballs more easily. span>
How often to brush it?
As already mentioned, brushing your cat is a habit that should be practiced often throughout the year.
However during the moulting period it would be more appropriate to brush the cat three times a week to once a day< /strong> based on your feline’s needs.
Finally, given that the cat loves to practice its own hygiene, we at Aries Soluzioni Naturali suggest you always keep it very clean and its coat is soft by relying on quality products, especially natural-based ones like ours.
Specifically for cats we have created the Cloud Line, which we suggest you discover by taking a peek at the our Shop.
