Spring Grooming Needed for Many Cats

4/12/2024

Spring is here, and with it comes the shedding season for our beloved feline friends. But don't worry, we're here to help you understand what happens to your cat's fur during this time and how you can support them!

Here are a few things that can happen to a cat's fur during the change in seasons:

Shedding: Cats naturally shed their fur to make way for a new coat. As the seasons transition from winter to spring, cats tend to shed more as they prepare for warmer weather.

Matting: During the transition from winter to spring, cats' fur can become prone to matting. Matting occurs when loose hair tangles and forms knots, which can be uncomfortable for cats and may lead to skin issues if not addressed.

Coat Change: Some cats experience a change in their coat during seasonal transitions. This is more common in outdoor cats who are exposed to varying amounts of sunlight. You may notice a slight change in their coat color or texture.

Dryness or Oiliness: The humidity and temperature changes during seasonal transitions can affect the moisture balance of a cat's skin. This can result in either dryness or excessive oiliness, leading to discomfort or skin problems.

Allergens and Irritants: With the arrival of spring, allergens and irritants such as pollen, dust, and outdoor pollutants can get trapped in a cat's fur. This can cause itchiness, skin allergies, and other discomforts.

To help your cat during this transition, regular grooming is key. We're here to assist you in maintaining a healthy coat and skin for your feline friend, preventing matting and discomfort before they even begin. Let us help your cat stay comfortable and happy throughout the seasonal change .
