Can matted cat fur cause dandruff for my cat?
I have a middle-haired cat who I (accidentally) used waterless shampoo on her, causing her fur to become very matted. Recently, during the winter season, I am starting to notice some skin shedding, or dandruff on the back of the cat. Did the irritation from the waterless shampoo cause her to have dandruff? Should I try and comb her more frequently to try to get rid of the matted fur to see how her dandruff progresses?
Thanks for the help!
Awwww, poor kitty. Yes matted fur can cause dandruff on cats. Their skin sheds constantly just like ours. The matted fur makes that skin build up and kitty can't clean that area. I would take my kitty to the vet or groomer and have the mats removed.
