Cat Grooming: Brushing, Shedding & Hairballs

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.
