It’s
not uncommon for cats to develop dandruff, which is the
result of an excessive shedding of dead skin cells.
There are different causes of dandruff; it could be the
result of a parasitic infection, in which case you
should seek veterinary advice.
Dandruff can also be the result of a lack of fatty acids
being synthesized from the cat’s diet; some cats can
have trouble absorbing adequate amounts of fatty acids
from your food. You can switch to a food that is rich in
fatty acids or add a fatty acid supplement to the cat’s
diet.
Frequent brushing will help remove the dead skin cells
from the coat, and the increased blood circulation that
grooming stimulates will contribute to healthier skin.
