The white hair of blue cats may be caused by malnutrition, such as lack of lecithin, vitamins, trace elements, etc. It is recommended that owners can appropriately supplement lecithin, fish oil and other ingredients for cats. Secondly, it may also be related to inherited genes. For example, the genes of the parents of blue cats contain genes from other breeds of cats. In addition, if the owner bathes the blue cat too frequently, or the shampoo used on the blue cat damages the cat's hair, it will also cause the coat to turn white. Therefore, it is recommended that blue cats take a bath once a month after they reach adulthood, and use pet-specific shower gel when taking a bath.
1. Malnutrition
If the owner only feeds the blue cat a single dry cat food or a single food in daily life, the nutrition of the blue cat's body will be unbalanced and there will be no nutritional nourishment. This will cause the hair to become lighter, whiter, and rougher. Therefore, when the owner feeds the blue cat, it is recommended to choose good quality cat food. You can choose ecological cat food with balanced nutrition, and then feed the blue cat some cooked fish, chicken, beef supplementary food, and control the salt and oil content. .
2. Genetic factors
If the blue cat is not a purebred cat, but is obtained by breeding a purebred blue cat with a gray-white or lighter-colored cat, the hair may also turn white. This genetic element cannot be changed and we can only let nature take its course. However, cats with this gene are born with poor physical fitness, so they must pay extra attention to protein supplements.
3. Incorrect bathing method
Incorrect bathing method can also cause the blue cat's hair to be damaged and turn white, so the blue cat should use cat-specific bathing methods when bathing. For cat shampoo, do not use adult body wash, soap, shampoo, etc. In addition, the blue cat's hair should be dried in time after taking a bath to avoid catching a cold. When combing the blue cat's hair, it is also recommended to use a cat-specific comb so as not to damage the blue cat's hair.
