Skin and Coat Reactions in Cats – Symptoms

The arrival of a new cat changes the home environment and can trigger stress-related skin and coat reactions in resident cats. Symptoms often indicate stress, allergies, or sensitivities.

Typical symptoms of skin and coat reactions:

• Increased scratching or licking
• Hair loss in specific areas
• Redness or small skin inflammations
• Dandruff
• Changes in coat texture (dull, coarse)
• Occasional mild skin irritation or itching

Such reactions indicate that the animal is stressed or that the immune system is affected.

Causes: Skin and Coat Reactions

Skin and coat problems in cats after the arrival of a new cat usually develop due to stress, immune reactions, or microbial imbalance.

Main causes:

• Stress: New smells and stimuli activate the nervous system and weaken the skin barrier
• Territorial behaviour: Conflicts or uncertainty can lead to excessive scratching or licking
• Immune reactions: Allergies to the new animal or the changed environment
• Microbiome imbalance: Stress can disrupt the balance of the skin flora
• Skin injuries: Licking, scratching, or rubbing against furniture can cause small wounds
• Incorrect diet or sudden food changes: Can further strain skin and coat

A balanced skin microbiome and a calm introduction help support skin health.
