The health of the skin and coat of a cat is connected to the behavioral health of the animal. Stressed animals can cause lesions to their skin and coat such as alopecia, ulcers, and self-mutilation. On the other hand, localized or systemic health problems can cause stress, or pain, and therefore can increase overgrooming and poor skin health. When treating overgrooming and related skin lesions, all the physical and behavioral causes must be addressed through a multimodal approach.
猫的皮肤和被毛健康与动物的行为健康相关。压力大的动物会导致其皮肤和被毛出现病变，如脱毛、溃疡和自残。另一方面，局部或全身性健康问题会导致压力或疼痛，因此会增加过度梳理毛发的行为并导致皮肤健康不佳。在治疗过度梳理毛发及相关皮肤病变时，必须通过多模式方法解决所有身体和行为方面的原因。
