Why Grooming Is Important For Cats?
As a veterinarian, I would say that grooming is the next most important thing after balanced nutrition. In general, all household cats require grooming, especially the long-hair breeds.
- Regular grooming ensures your cat’s fur stays healthy, shiny, and free of knots and tangles.
- Helps you locate any parasites such as ticks and fleas.
- While grooming you can feel for any bumps, hidden wounds, or injuries on your cat’s body.
- A cleaner coat ensures better insulation for the cat.
- Grooming helps stimulate glands at the base of hair keeping the coat waterproof and shiny.
- As brush goes along the body of the cat it improves circulation and muscle tone
- Gives a comforting feeling to the cat and helps reduce stress
- Prevents hairballs and over-grooming
How Often To Groom Cats?
Ideally, cats should be groomed one to three times per week depending on the season, breed, and size.
Long hair cat breeds such as Persians, Maine Coons, Himalayan, and others require regular grooming 3-4 times a week to reduce shedding and to prevent knots and tangles. Short hair cat breeds on the other hand only require grooming 1-2 times a week.
