Basic Cat Grooming

broken image

Grooming helps keep your cat’s coat and skin healthy. Grooming also gives you the opportunity to bond with your cat. Begin grooming while your cat is young so she becomes accustomed to your touch. Brush your cat often to prevent hairballs and manage excessive shedding. Use a brush or comb manufactured for pets. Choose the tool that best manages your cat’s coat type and length. Use one hand to restrain your cat lightly while brushing. Check for lumps or injuries that may require medical attention. Speak to your cat affectionately during grooming. Thus your cat will learn to associate grooming with good things. Use a pet clipper to trim your cat’s nails weekly. Avoid the quick, which can hurt and bleed if you cut it. Use a cat-safe ear rinse and cotton balls to clean your cat’s ears as needed. Learn more from your veterinary clinic Seminole, FL.
