One of the great benefits of owning a cat is that they generally do not need any special grooming procedures done by the owner. Unlike dogs, cats will use their tongue to wash themselves. Cats do this self-cleaning several times every day to keep their fur shiny and dust-free. However, do not ignore giving your cat a good brushing now and again because they absolutely love the tingling feeling of being massaged.
Brushing Your Cats During Shedding Season
As a cat owner, you may want to consider extra grooming important, especially during the times your cat is shedding heavily. A technique that I personally use involves working the cat’s fur with a brush and a moist latex glove. I brush with my left hand and then I use my right hand with a moistened glove to stroke the cat’s fur and collect the loose hairs. Just doing this procedure once will surprise you at just how much loose fur will be removed. These loosened hairs are ones that your cat was unable to remove with her tongue.
