Hi, I’ve noticed these little white dots appearing where my cat has been. there not moving so I was thinking maybe dandruff? Callie has never had these before and shes 6. She has regular treatment for fleas and worms and is a long hair tortoiseshell. She does go out daily.


thankyou

It could be dandruff. Part her fur to see if she has it. Often cats get dandruff in places they cant reach to groom such as their back. Do you brush her regularly, if not, are you able to start doing it? Add some salmon oil in her food to her the dryness in her skin.

Looks like dandruff.

It may be worth a vet visit shortly if this started recently. Sudden dandruff can be a sign that arthritis is started (can't groom as well), or an early sign of hyperthyroidism.

Both of the above can be very far along in cats before most pet owners notice as cats are great at hiding their symptoms.
