Cat dandruff is a lot like human dandruff, it is just the skin scaling off because it is dry. It is a bothersome disorder, but not often a serious one. It could also be indicative that there is something else wrong with the cat.

The thing that owners of cats with dandruff should be wary most of is that if
the cat is scratching too much and could cause weeping and open sores that in
turn could get infected.
While most
treatments and medications will address the cause of the dandruff, the itching
and discomfort caused by it will not go away until the cause of the dandruff is
eliminated, and that could take some time.
There are also several things that you should take note of because these will
make the dandruff worse:
1.牋牋牋牋牋牋 Raise the humidity in the
house. Dry air will aggravate the cat抯 dandruff, and it is also a cause for
brittle and dry hair on your cat. During this period when your cat has
dandruff, and he needs grooming, do not use a blow dryer because the added heat
will irritate the skin more.
2.牋牋牋牋牋牋 Do not let the cat out in
the heat, for the same reasons stated above. Wait until the late afternoon to
let him out, when the sun抯 heat has already dissipated.
3.牋牋牋牋牋牋 If the cat has not yet been
de-clawed, have it done as soon as it is advisable. It will prevent him from
gauging wounds on his skin when he scratches. It is better to have dandruff
than have dandruff plus skin wounds.
4.牋牋牋牋牋牋 Keep the cat comfortable
with topical applications that will get rid of the itchiness. It will relieve
his discomfort and lessen the chance that he will scratch.
These are just a few things to keep in mind about taking care of your cat when
he has dandruff. If the veterinarian has prescribed medication to get rid of
the cause of dandruff, make sure that you follow his instructions well to give
the cat a speedy recovery. You should also ask for something that will make the
cat more comfortable.
Cat dandruff may not be a serious disorder, but that doesn抰 mean that it
should not be addressed. Every responsible pet owner knows that anything that
could cause your pet harm and discomfort has a way of getting worse if you do
not address it properly.
