Grooming Your Cat
Looking good is important, even to cats.
Sure, your cat likes to groom herself, but you can help keep her cat looking her best. Any soft-bristled brush will work fine.
Fur care. Regular gentle brushing keeps your cat's hair clean and shiny, controls shedding and helps prevent hairballs. Do it once a day for long-haired cats; once a week for short-haired cats.
Quick check. Brushing is also the perfect opportunity to check for unusual lumps, bumps and fleas.
Form a bond. Nothing brings you and your cat closer together than grooming time.
