Cat Grooming

A short-haired cat can mostly be left to its own devices. A long-haired cat in July, or any cat that spends time outside, is a different situation. Regular brushing cuts down on shedding and keeps mats from forming — mats that get ignored have a way of turning into a vet visit. Cat grooming tools run from basic slicker brushes and de-shedding combs to nail clippers, ear cleaners, and shampoo for the occasions that call for it. Having the right tool makes the whole thing go faster, which the cat will appreciate even if it doesn’t show it.
