Of course, this annoying bug is also an important cause of cat itching. Although flea bites can make cats feel a little itchy, what is more important is allergens from flea saliva.
It can cause allergic symptoms in cats and produce a strong itching feeling. This itching is much stronger than a small and slight bite. When a cat encounters this symptom, it will scratch the itchy place and even pull out a lot of hair.
Cats allergic to fleas have very sparse hair near their tails and backs, and red rashes can be seen faintly on their heads and necks. At this time, the owner needs to get rid of fleas on the cat and at home and give the cat anti-allergic drugs.
2, seasonal allergies.
Not only humans are allergic to pollen, dust, mites and other things, but also cats. Cats often inhale some allergens when playing outdoors.
These allergens can cause cats to often tickle and lick their paws, which can lead to hair loss in severe cases.
Therefore, when the seasons change, try not to let cats go to places where flowers or humidity are too high, and the home needs to be cleaned.
3, food allergies.
Some humans are often very sensitive to food, and eating sensitized food can even lead to terrible results of death. So are cats.
Protein in many meats can cause food allergy in cats, which can cause itching, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, dyspnea and even death.
Therefore, the owner of cat food must strictly control it and don't give them messy things.
4. Contact allergy.
Some cats, like humans, are allergic.
When their skin comes into contact with antibiotics, metals and other substances, it will cause allergies and lead to itchy skin. This is not a big problem, just control the cat not to touch these things.
5, parasites.
Something invisible to the naked eye will parasitize the cat's skin. These little things are called mites.
The excrement of mites and the stimulation generated when digging skin can make cats feel itchy. This requires a special method of eliminating mites and expelling insects. And be sure to keep the cat's personal hygiene!
