Skin And Hair Coat Problems Of Obese Cats

An obese cat would not be as flexible when compared to a cat that is in her ideal weight. And so, overweight cats often have unkempt and matted fur, particularly if the cat does not get grooming assistance from her owner. Not being flexible means that she is not able to reach specific areas of her body, like along her spine and behind her legs when self-grooming.

 

Obesity could also raise your pet cat’s probability of developing dry and flaky skin which could crack and form sores if no attention and/or care is given. These sores could be painful for your pet, and also become breeding grounds for additional bacterial infections, increasing your pet’s risk of developing critical health issues. All that excess weight carried by an obese cat could negatively affect her immune system functionality.

 

Your pet cat might not be overweight or obese, but even so, regular help with her grooming will have a big impact on keeping your cat’s fur tangle-free, clean, and shiny. In addition, regularly brushing your pet’s fur will remove any loose fur before it falls onto the ground.
