While I can not be sure that this will apply to cats, it does to dogs.  I
would imagine the same principes apply.

Dogs need a certain amount of oil in their food.  Unfortunately, most dry
foods do not contain enough.  You can go to the pet shop and buy something
called "linatone" which sells for about $4 for just a few ounces, or simply go
to the grocery store and get peanut oil.  Dogs also like bacon fat.  BE AWARE
that very little is needed on a daily basis (about a teaspoon)  Feeding more
can lead to purging of the intestines (I guess it makes the food slip thru too
fast!).

This oil will keep the pets skin and fur from being dry - which contributes to
the fall out.
