However, two transactions slightly under the $10,000 threshold conducted days or weeks apart may not necessarily be structuring. For example, if a customer deposits $9,900 in currency on Monday and deposits $9,900 in currency on Wednesday, it should not be assumed that structuring has occurred.
Long hair cats can avoid matting with daily combing. If mats do form, they need to either be carefully removed by an owner or preferably by a groomer. Failure to remove mats can result in skin problems such as sores. Diet such as the proper amount of protein intake and vitamins contribute to maintaining a healthy coat. Problems such as a cat losing hair can have multiple causes including parasites, illness, allergy and stress.
One possibility is contact dermatitis -- an allergic reaction from something your cat has rubbed against. If the hair loss is limited to the lower legs, for example, it could be a reaction to a new rug. You may have to do some detective work to figure out the cause, but once you remove it, the hair should grow back. Your vet may prescribe a hydrocortisone spray to stop the cat from scratching. Alopecia can also signal a more serious problem, such as a hormone imbalance. Cats with either hypo- or hyperthyroidism (an under- or over-active thyroid) may experience patchy hair loss, and an excess of the hormone cortisol can cause thinning hair in a symmetrical pattern on your cat's trunk. These conditions must be diagnosed with a blood test.
