Long Haired Cat Care

3/19/2015

0 Comments

 
Long Haired kitties are amazingly beautiful. Touching a well cared feline fur coat is a luxurious pleasure. What many new cat owners are not prepared for is the care a long haired cat might require. The grooming routine varies from cat to cat. Cats are clean by nature but some might need an extra help to keep their coats looking their best.

How much grooming depends on the nature of the coat and on your pet's age, health and life status.

The softer and silkier the coat the more grooming it will require. Older cats tend to become lazy and loose interest in cleaning themselves. This lack of interest could be related to age-related cognitive decline (cat dementia). Overweight cats have a difficult time reaching the back part of their bodies. The area around the tail might get specially dirty since bits of poop and litter could stick to it.

Cats with "pushed" faces need the area around their eyes cleaned daily to prevent excesive tears and infections.

Long haired cats need more brushing than regular cats. Regarless of their beautiful and shinny coats, a mayor concern for these cats is hairballs. Regular combing and brushing will not only keep your apartment cleaner but your cat will also enjoy a healthier life!

Depending on all these factors, your cat might need a little work once a month or every few days. It is a good idea to start grooming your cat since he/she is a kitten. Many kitties absolutely love and enjoy being combed and brushed.

Bathing a cat is a different story. Few cats enjoy a bath. If your cat coat gets greasy or sticky it might require a bath. If you need to give your cat a bath you can find videos and tutorials on the internet. We recommend this one.
