Cat dandruff is a problem that I’ve read about too many times. It’s a nuisance that affects nearly all cat owners, and if you have a cat, it’s a matter of time before you have to look into it.

But fear not, there may be a cat dandruff cure that you can try without burning a hole in your pocket, just by looking at the symptoms and environment and taking action based on these symptoms. It is important to ensure first that your problem is not instead cat dander.

Many cat dandruff problems are invariably linked to three factors:

1. An aged or over-weight cat with dandruff on her rump or tail

If your feline friend is overweight or has gained weight suddenly and dandruff on her rump and tail, it’s a clear sign that she’s not able to reach these areas to clean herself. This is also an issue for ageing cats that lack the mobility to groom themselves.

Simply brush you cat and I suggest you groom her every couple of months. If you decide to give your cat a bath, please avoid using human shampoos as that might make her skin drier and exacerbate the condition. Always use a cat shampoo and remember to clean thoroughly as remaining shampoo stuck on her undercoat may begin the problem all over again.

2. It’s winter

If your cat only experiences dandruff issues in winter, then it could be the result of the cold and dry weather. Worse of all, a lot of cats like to lie about in the warm comforts of the fireplace, which quickly dries her skin causing it to flake.

Simply take her away from the fireplace regularly and see if the problem persists. Having a humidifier would be not a bad idea, both for your cat and also yourself (humans get dry skin too…)

3. My kitty still has cat dandruff problems

If your cat still has dandruff, a change in furniture might be the cause A new curtain perhaps? Take a look if there has been any changes to her surroundings that she might be sensitive to and try to make the necessary adjustments.
