If the kitty's fur/skin is dry you might notice kitty "dandruff" or the fur will feel coarse to the touch. Adding flax oil or other omega oils to the food (or look for a food that has flax or omega oils already in it) will improve your kitty's coat. Also frequent grooming - brushing and that wonderful tool that PT meowmies rave about, the shedding blade, will help remove dead hair so you shouldn't have to bathe your cat too frequently. HTH
