Cats are one of the types of animals that have naturally oily skin which is very prone to allergens and mild-severe sensitivity.

There are quite a few reasons that a cat may develop scabs on their skin. They are:

• Recent change in diet - new cat foods can cause Allergies in cats.
• Recent change in litter - new litters with certain materials may cause allergies
• Flea/Tick(s) and other skin related parasites/mites
• Seasonal Allergies
• Lack of natural oils
• Lesions/Scatches caused by scratching from any of the above reasons

The best thing you can do for your cat is to schedule a veterinary exam and have a skin scraping test done. This will look for any parasites and mites and can be used to detect any allergies.

It's recommended that you purchase a shampoo that contains feline moisturizers and use it. Do not use the shampoo is the cat currently has any open cuts or sores.
