The fluffy hair has become slump. The greasy and greasy touch is oily. Why does the cute cat who was originally fragrant suddenly become greasy before she reaches middle age? Not only did my whole body become oily, but I could see small black dots when I opened my hair. I got goosebumps when I looked at it!
What causes the fragrant kitten to become so greasy? Don't worry! Let's learn about the situation together!
1. It is normal for cats to be slightly greasy
In fact, not only the human body sometimes becomes greasy, but our cats will also secrete oil. Even healthy cats will produce a small amount of oil.
After the lipocysts in cat sebum mature and rupture, a large amount of oily substances will be secreted. The cat does not have exocrine sweat glands and can only produce secretions through the skin. When the secretions are decomposed by microorganisms, oil and odorous primordials will be formed, making the cat greasy.
However, a slight oily substance can fill the gaps on the skin surface, helping cats maintain their hair smoothness and prevent dryness, and can make their hair look oily and shiny (oilic substance: I am not completely harmful).
2. What to do if the cat is too greasy?
If the cat is too greasy and the cat owner is not cleaned properly, it will suffer from some skin diseases of all sizes. This not only affects the beauty of the cat, but also makes the cat shoveler feel uncomfortable. Therefore, we need to carry out some cleaning measures to help the cat clean up excessive oil secretion.
1) Rub:
The skin on the back and sides of the body is thicker, but the skin on the abdomen is very thin, which makes the cat's hair and oil secretion unbalanced, so it is not advisable to over-clean, just scrub it in moderation.
In addition to washing, you can also wipe the cat's whole body with a wet paper towel containing alcohol or a wrung hot towel.
2) Dry cleaning:
In addition to washing, you can also use cats' special free shower gel to clean the cat. This method saves both worry and time. However, if the cat's greasy condition is already very serious, dry cleaning will only cause the cat's hair to become greasy faster!
3) Frequently combing hair:
Combing hair can not only massage the cat's blood vessels and skin, but also remove miscellaneous hairs and greasiness on the surface of the skin, making the cat's hair tidy and preventing greasiness from becoming too fast.
Cats have greasy bodies, and most of the situations can be solved through daily cleaning. However, if the greasy feeling is already serious or suddenly greasy, the shoveler needs to take the cat to the hospital for consultation, determine the specific cause and then treat it.
