Cat
Most cat dandruff issues are invariably related to 3 factors:
An aged or overweight cat with dandruff on her rump or tail
If you have a cat that is overweight or a cat with sudden weight gain and dandruff on her rump and tail, it's a sure sign that she's unable to reach these areas to clean herself. This is also a question for aged cats that lack the mobility to groom themselves.
A good brushing would help in this case and it might be a good idea to groom your cat every integrate of months. If you are able to bathe your cat without getting yourself scratched too badly in the process, then it would an perfect idea to do this every integrate of months. But if you do so, avoid using human shampoos as that might dry her skin additional and exacerbate the condition. If you must, use a cat shampoo and remember to wash thoroughly as excess shampoo stuck on her undercoat will only make matters worse.
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, most cats like to laze about in the warm comforts of the fireplace, which rapidly dries her skin causing it to flake.
Simply move her away from the fireplace every once in a while and witness if the question persists. Getting a good humidifier would be an perfect idea, both for your feline friend and also yourself (humans get dry skin too...)
My cat is neither fat nor old, and neither is it winter now! Help! Relax...if none of the above apply, just think, have you bought any new furniture lately? A new carpet perhaps? Check if there are any changes to her environment that she might be sensitive to and try to make the critical adjustments.
If this doesn't help, then it's most likely a diet issue. You see, cats hate water and most wouldn't go near it even when they're thirsty. The only way our feline friends get their water requirement is through the moisture article of their cat food. question is, most of us go for cheap dry cat food that do not consist of sufficient moisture content, hence causing her skin to dry and flake.
Make a turn to high potential canned food and add some fish oil to her diet and you'll see results in no time!
