Slowly and gently comb the cat's fur with a comb, starting from the beginning and working toward the tail, combing each tuft of fur bit by bit to avoid pulling or making the cat uncomfortable. You can say some gentle words to the cat while grooming, so that the cat can feel your love and care.
If you find that your fur is tangled, don’t worry! Gently untangle the knots with your hands, or use a specialized comb to help detangle. Remember to be careful and don’t let the cat get hurt!
After finishing grooming, you can give the cat a small reward, such as some snacks or extra petting, to let the cat know that grooming is a pleasant experience, and the cat will be more willing to cooperate next time!
In this way, daily grooming time not only becomes a bonding moment between you, but also keeps your cat's coat smooth and healthy. Happy combing, happy company! As for the scarring and hair loss problems in cats, it may be caused by various reasons.

For scars (or nodules):
Scarring is usually caused by a cat's skin being injured or having a skin disease.
Small wounds may heal on their own, but if they are large or deep, they may require veterinary treatment.
If your cat's scab looks red, swollen, has pus, or is bleeding, it's time to see your veterinarian to avoid infection.
For shedding:
Cats usually shed their hair during the shedding season, which is normal. During this period, you can comb your cat more often, which can help them get rid of dead hair and promote the growth of new hair.
If your cat continues to shed a lot of hair, it may be due to malnutrition, skin problems, parasitic infections, or other health problems, and it's best to go to the veterinarian for a check-up.
Making sure your cat eats a balanced diet and choosing high-quality cat food can help reduce shedding problems.
Caring for your cat:
Grooming your cat regularly can help reduce scabbing and shedding problems.
Pay attention to keeping the environment around your cat clean to reduce the chance of scarring.
Avoid excessive licking of your cat's fur as this may lead to scabbing and hair loss.
If you find that your cat's scabbing or shedding problem persists or becomes more severe, it's a good idea to visit your veterinarian to ensure your cat's health and comfort.
