Hi-I have a 4 yr old white flame point persian male feline. This year he is scratching more, and also finding hair chucks on our carpet. We thought with the change of seasons maybe his undercoat was coming out with new coat coming in, but, it seems heavier this year (hair pieces) and have also noticed him scratching more. Checked for signs of scabs, or irritation, no obvious signs. He eats Iams hairball rememdy dry food, and pro plan purina chicken. We thought maybe he has dry skin with the winter season coming so hooked up a humidifier for him, and still scratching and finding hair. I've noticed his coat is thinning, not the big poofy persian he usually is, and, wondering if we should be more conderned and take to the vet (which he detests), could it be ear mites? How do we self check? He is a scardy cat, but, have had no visitors regularly, or changes to upset him. Also, his back ripples or seems irritaed. I've read and searched on the internet, and there's so much info, I'm kind of overwhelmed, and don't want to go in the worng direction. Any advice, or ruling out things would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much~
