Grooming should be enjoyable for both the cat and you. The best time to groom a cat is after its meal, because that’s when its mood is good. Another thing to note. Grooming them takes time and patience. So on days when you are very tired, it is better not to do grooming.
Brushing
If your cat’s hair is short, then how to brush –
– First, comb the cat from head to tail with a metal comb.
– Then the loose hairs should be combed and cleaned with a rubber comb.
– Be careful when scratching the cat’s chest and belly.
If your cat’s fur is long, then how to brush it –
– First, the cat’s belly and legs should be scratched. If there is any entanglement, it should be removed gradually.
– Then scratch with a rubber comb from the bottom to the top.
– When scratching the cat’s tail, the tail should be divided and scratched on both sides.
Bathing
Method of Bathing –
– First the hairs should be combed so that there are no knots anywhere.
– Take a rubber pad under where you are going to take a bath. Their feet will not slip on the rubber pad. In that case, your cat will feel much more comfortable. If you don’t have a rubber pad, you can use a thick piece of chaat.
– After that, in the tub or pot where you will take a bath, take warm water with 4-5 inches high.
– Place the cat in the water and slowly pour water over the body with a small mug. It is best to water with a hand washer. Then it is convenient to keep control. Be careful not to get water in the ears, nose or eyes.
– Then take the shampoo and massage it all over the body from head to tail.
– Then rinse it so that there is no foam left. If there is foam, then their body itches and feels uncomfortable.
– Finally wipe with a dry towel. It is better not to bathe the cat in winter. Even then, if you want to do it, you should immediately dry it with a hair dryer.
Nail cutting / Trimming
Nail biting is very important. Nails should be trimmed at least once a month because overgrown nails bend and cause pain when walking. If the nail is large, the pathogen is tight. But you have to cut your nails very carefully because if you cut too much it causes bleeding, so you have to trim your nails with an experienced person or buy a nail clipper and cut them with it.
Things to remember when cutting nails at home –
– Must use sharp Nail Clipper.
– Cut the nail from where it starts to bend. A pink area is seen inside the nail. When cutting the nail, it must be cut after the part, or bleeding may start.
Trimming
Trimming & Cutting depends on the breed of cat. High, low, long, short hair, different breeds of cats have different types of hair. It keeps insects free and keeps the body cool by reducing the cat’s fur. Some cats’ fur grows very quickly. They must be kept trimmed regularly, otherwise they have movement problems.
Conclusion
Grooming your cat at home is an essential aspect of maintaining their health and happiness. With patience, the right tools, and a gentle approach, you can keep your cat’s coat shiny, nails trimmed, and overall well-being in check.
Regular grooming not only ensures a clean and healthy pet but also strengthens the bond between you and your feline friend. Happy grooming!
