How often should I groom my cat?

The frequency of grooming depends on your cat's coat length and shedding habits. Generally weekly brushing to remove loose hairs is sufficient for short haired cats , while daily brushing is recommended for long haired cats to prevent mats and tangles from developing. Aside from regular brushing, you may wish to trim your cat's nails, however it is important that this is only done for indoor cats. Cats with access to the outdoors need their claws to be able to escape from hazards by climbing upwards. As a general rule, it is not necessary to give your cat a bath unless they become very dirty, are unable to groom themselves or if you need to use a medicated shampoo or conditioner . Waterless cat grooming spray is a great alternative to bathing for freshening up your cat's coat.

What is the best brush for grooming long-haired cats?

A combination of brushes and combs are ideal for grooming long haired cats including: Slicker brush : Removes loose hair and helps detangle mats. Comb or pin brush : Works well for removing knots and tangles, especially in thick coats. Undercoat rake or deshedding tool: Removes excess undercoat during shedding seasons.

Can I groom my cat at home, or should I visit a professional?

Depending on your cat's coat and temperament, it may be possible to groom them at home. For long haired cats especially, if you are unable to keep on top of matts or have difficulty grooming them yourself, it is a good idea to consult a professional groomer. Long haired kittens should be desensitised to brushing, combing and being handled so that trips to the groomer are less stressful for everyone involved!

How do I deal with my cat’s shedding?

There are a number of strategies that can be used to minimise your cats shedding in the home including: Regular brushing: Consistent brushing, at least weekly helps remove loose hair before it is shed in your home. Shedding tools: Specialised deshedding tools and undercoat rakes can be used to efficiently remove excess hair. Diet: A balanced diet with ingredients such as omega fatty acids can contribute to a healthy coat and reduce shedding.

What are the benefits of regular grooming for cats?

Aside from preventing matts, tangles and reducing shedding, grooming offers some additional benefits for your cat. By removing loose hair through grooming, you can also reduce the amount of hair your cat ingests when grooming themselves, which in turn can reduce the occurrence of hairballs . The process of grooming also brings you and your cat closer together, strengthening your relationship, while at the same time giving you an opportunity to assess your cat's skin health and detect problems such as fleas , sores or lumps sooner.
