Topic: What do I do about my cat's dandruff?

Anonymous A started this discussion 13 years ago #25,714

He has dandruff. Any experiences with this? Thanks.

Pour one ounce of Head and Shoulders into his water (cats lick themselves so it's important to make sure the shampoo gets in their mouths). If that doesn't work in a week, add two ounces of Head and Shoulders. Keep going until the cat is cured.

Meth habit + tweezers = victory

Hunt down and remove every piece of dandruff on your cat.

Cat dandruff is not particularly harmful but it can be a sign of poor health or poor diet. Treat it by daily brushing and use a suitable cat shampoo. Add some oily food to your cats diet or a daily pat of butter or spread.

There is ample advice on Google.

Okay, this sounds good. One question: if on week three it still isn't better, should I do three ounces or four? Thanks. Thanks.

@previous (Icarus !!fxtF/31b/)
Thanks, but what about the advice @390,778 (Meta !PARAdoxiHw) gave?

You will find that some Google sites do not recommend the use of human shampoos as they can result in eye damage. Best use a veterinary approved cat shampoo and follow the instructions.

Also read through these Yahoo answers that give simple concise advice.

If after adding four ounces on week three the cat still suffers from dandruff, you may want to add a splash of tea tree oil.

4oz is enough to shampoo a horse - ignore this advice before you injure your cat.

Let us all know if your cat survives. He will be blind at the very least. You don't need advice you need your stupid ass kicking.

How would he be blind you mora? The cat drinks the shampoo not puts it in his eyes.

Yes, actually. We can't see what you're linking us to. It could be CP or a virus for all we know.

Hey I have one other question. One of my cats is a cat of color. Does he need special ethnic shampoo, or will Head & Shoulders still work? Thanks.

Is the colored cat male or female?

Male.

It reduces the puking. My cat pukes maybe twice a year with proper care.

You call feeding your cat brewers rice and corn gluten meal "proper care"? Jesus.

Ah, in that case you must give the cat vitiligo first which will turn the black male cat into a white female one.

Salmon and Tuna are the main ingredients in the Purina Pro Plan I feed my cat. I doubt you feed your cat any better. Or you feed your cat some god damn hippy diet that you think is healthier when really it's giving your cat the dandruff problems.

I do feed them better, lol. Grocery-store pet food is shit. They are not meant to eat grains.
