It is probably not difficult for any cat owner to find out where his little tiger likes to lie down. Just look a little bit at the upholstered chairs, the sofa or the bedding and you're bound to find tufts of hair in at least one place. Do you know why a cat pees like that?
If a cat loses one hair, a new one grows very quickly in the same place. The molting process keeps her coat thick and shiny. It also prevents the hair from getting greasy, which is a problem especially for long-haired cats.
Cats even speed up the process by licking the fur with their coarse tongue. This simply removes the old hair. But you can also do the work yourself. If you have a short-haired cat at home, brush it once a week. Long-haired cats need to be brushed daily.
You will have noticed that at certain times cats shed more than others. This is simply because they are getting ready for high temperatures before summer, and they are huddling before winter. But if you find that your cat is peeing more than other times and her fur is not growing back, beware. Her coat is a very good indicator of her health. When she is ill, it often shows in the quality of her coat. In this case, it is best to take your cat to a vet who will examine her and make a diagnosis and treatment if necessary.
