In a new method of treating feline skin disorders, an area of abnormal skin is identified on a cat, and coconut oil is applied to the area of abnormal skin. To apply the coconut oil, it is applied to a users fingertips, the users fingers are pushed through the cats fur until they contact the cats skin, and then the users fingertips are brushed against the skin of the cat against the lie of the fur. The user may continue the application until the coconut oil has been applied to the full area of abnormal skin. Application may be repeated once daily until symptoms of skin disorder completely abate. The coconut oil may be pure or mixed with one or more additional ingredients for aroma, appearance, or texture. The amount of coconut oil applied may be less than ¼ of a teaspoon.
