Special Tips on Cat Care and Grooming
If you are a good owner and a pet lover, you have the knowledge that you have to take care of our cats. Cat care not only includes feeding the right kind and amount of food but also grooming the cat. This not only benefits for the welfare of the cat but also for your own good as well. If you will notice, cats lick their own fur to clean it up and to promote blood circulation in their body. However, this is not enough to keep the cat groomed. You have the responsibility to take care of your cat and provide good grooming to it.
If your cat is not used to grooming then you better persist on doing it slowly every day. This will create a routine that the cat can follow and thus promote cat grooming in your pet. With your persistence and determination, you will be able to free yourself, any family members and visitors from any diseases that can be related to poor grooming of pets. Moreover, it can also promote beautiful growth of fur in your cats and eventually promote pet and owner bonding.
If you have a cat and kitten with very long hair, then use a comb in grooming your cat. Like humans, animals need to keep their hair brushed in order to maintain a shiny and beautiful quality of hair. For short haired cats, a rubber brush can be used. You can start on the favorite areas of the cat which are mostly on the head and the chin. This is to create more trust on your pets and of course lets you continue what you have planned in grooming your pets.
Some cats do not like to get wet but when your pets really need one then you better persist on doing cat care and bath as prompt as possible. You can start on the ears of your pets with the use of cotton buds soaked in warm water so that your cat will not be startled with what you are planning to do with it. Clean the outer areas of the ear only.
After you are done with it, you can brush again your cat with damp or wet brush so that loose hair can be removed. Make sure that you will continue bathing your cat with warm water in a warm room so that your cat will not feel the chills and may make it very aggressive and very hard to groom in the end. When this happens, you may not be able to continue grooming it.
Once your cat is all wet, apply the shampoo intended for it. Do not apply to much, just enough for the size of the cat. Then rinse the cat well with warm water and you can apply conditioner to the fur if you really want it to be glossy shine. Make sure that when you do this; massage the cat on the favorite parts so it will have the liking of what you are doing. Once you are done, you can rinse the cat and wrap and cuddle it in a large towel to let the cat dry.
Good grooming in cats is important since it will provide proper blood circulation in them and also keeps them in good health. Not only that, you will also benefit from it as owners.
