Cat Grooming

Cats are infamous about keeping themselves clean. For a cat, grooming is a daily activity and often multiple times a day. Sometimes, however, cats need more than a “spit and shine” to keep them looking their best.

For breeders who show their cats, keeping cats and grooming them is a full time job. Long-haired breeds, like Persians and Himalayans, need extra work to keep the longer fur free of tangles, and well kept. Short-haired cats still need regular brushing to keep them looking their best.

For the average cat owner, cat grooming supplies are pretty basic. All you need is a brush or comb to get rid of tangles and remove shed hair, and a set of nail clippers to trim the nails. There is also a variety of shampoos, both liquid and powder, and wipes if you cat needs the occasional touchup – however many cats dislike having a bath, and the process can be traumatic for both cat and owner. If your cat dislikes being groomed, there are several brushes designed to feel more like petting than actual brushing. For toenails, a cat bag can help keep the cat in control while you trim each foot, reducing the risk of injury to the owner.

If your cat grooming needs are more than basic, taking your cat to a professional groomer may be a better answer than attempting it at home. Groomers are specially trained in handling cats and cat grooming needs. When making an appointment make sure that the groomer works with cats. Also find out if there is anything special that you need to do beforehand to prepare the cat. If yours is exceptionally wild, your vet may prescribe a mild tranquilizer.
