Vibrissae, or whiskers, are important to cats because they help the animals detect the scent of prey while hunting.
There are situations when a pet loses its precious whiskers.
Why does this happen? Let's look into this in more detail.
Indoor air
Animals do not tolerate dry air well. Cats are particularly sensitive to this.
Health problems
Also, loss of whiskers can be associated with such problems as hormonal imbalance, weak immunity, the presence of parasites in the body, and allergies.
Poor nutrition
Lack of nutrients, vitamins, minerals can also cause loss of whiskers. That is why it is important to feed your pet healthy food. It is better to consult a specialist about the schedule and choice of food.
Fights
Fights often occur between cats. Such actions can lead not only to injuries, but also to loss of whiskers.
Wrong care products
If you start bathing your cat with a product that is not intended for animals, this can lead to problems with the fur and whiskers.
