How Often Should You Groom Your Cat
While cats are excellent self-groomers, it’s important for owners to still carry out some basic grooming duties for their cats. Regular grooming makes a big difference to the amount of hair that your cat will ingest while cleaning itself and many cats will look forward to a good brush!
The frequency at which you groom your cat will depend on your cat's unique characteristics. For example, medium - long haired cats will require more frequent grooming than short-haired, particularly in the shedding seasons. While short-haired cats will only need to be groomed about once a week, long and medium-haired cats may need it on a daily basis in order to reduce the amount of excess hair they carry. The upside of regular rooming is less hair on your floor, furniture and clothes. Ensuring you have a quality cat grooming kit will help you keep your pet well-kept and make the entire process easier for owners.
Should You Clip Your Cat's Nails?
Cats' nails are continually growing and they keep them in shape by regular scratching. It is important to provide scratching posts or scratchers for cats, especially if they are indoors. You will see outdoor cats using trees and logs to maintain healthy nails. If your cat is scratching your furniture or carpet and you cannot successfully redirect them to a cat scratcher you may need to regularly trim their nails. Quality cat clippers and files will assist you to safely and accurately trim your pet's nails.
