Owners of animals with luxurious hair always need additional care for their pets.
At the same time, cats' fur, like human hair, can suddenly become shiny and oily.
Let's figure out whether you should sound the alarm or whether this is a natural state of your four-legged pet's coat.
Why does a cat have oily fur?
Clean cats can lick themselves almost all the time when they are not sleeping. And that is why they have such beautiful fur that enchants people.
However, over time, cats become less active, which causes them to suffer from obesity. This condition is also accompanied by shiny fur.
Any problems with the cat's body can also cause oily hair. For example, when the cat experiences stress, toothache and other unpleasant sensations, it stops licking itself.
In addition, unbalanced nutrition leads to oily fur, which is why cats' diets should include high-quality protein products.
Ringworm, parasites, seborrhea and other diseases also lead to deterioration of your pet's coat.
Therefore, you should not leave things to chance and contact a specialist, especially if you see that the greasy fur is gathering into icicles, the cat has an unpleasant smell and bald spots are appearing on the luxurious fur coat.
