What is the best way to brush a cat: depends on its fur
10.11.2023 12:56
It doesn't matter whether your pet has short or long hair - a cat needs to be brushed one way or another.
The only exception, perhaps, are completely hairless cats, but there is so much hassle with skin care that regular brushing of your furry pet will seem like innocent entertainment to you.
Therefore, without further delay, we invite you to learn everything about proper care of your cat’s fur.
Cats with short and medium hair
As a rule, the “fur coat” of such pets does not get tangled, however, to avoid hair getting into the animal’s stomach during licking, we recommend that you use at least a mitten designed for combing, or a brush equipped with natural bristles.
A useful tool in this case is a deshedding tool, which is specially designed to remove excess undercoat hair.
Cats with curly hair
The problem that can arise in this case is the formation of tangles and mats. To lay the wavy coat in one direction and thus reduce the chances of tangling, try combing the cat with a comb with closely spaced teeth. In this, as in the previous situation, you can use a brush with natural bristles to remove excess hair. But a slicker brush is not suitable for such cats.
Longhaired cats
Owners of such pets are faced with the same trouble - tangles. To prevent their formation, regularly use a slicker brush, a comb with rare teeth or a furminator.
