Is your cat overweight? and how old is he? I usually see dandruff more commonly in overweight or old cats that can't groom themselves well along their back ( so you will have to help them out by combing them every day). Also diabetic cats usually have a poorer coat quality and are often very flakey and again combing them helps along with stabilising their diabetes. The other time I see excess dandruff is with a mite called cheyletiella ( other name is walking dandruff!). It is common in younger cats often previously a stray cat. Your vet will be able to test for this. My best advice is to comb your cat daily, if that doesn't help then seek advice from your vet. Good Luck
