Cats <\/strong>are generally rather clean animals (especially those living in flats): they do not need too much attention and care, as they tend to spend a lot of time on self-cleaning. Cats take care of their hygiene independently during the day, and they do this by licking: thanks to their tongue<\/strong>, they are able to remove most of the residues and dead cells from their coat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Even though the cat is also rather ‘independent’ concerning personal hygiene, there are numerous precautions and good habits that can increase its well-being and improve its quality of life in the immediate and long term.<\/p>\n

It is important to try to brush and comb cats <\/strong>at least once or twice a week if they have short hair (European, Siamese, Carthusian, Abyssinian) and more frequently if they have long hair (Persian, Norwegian, Siberian, Ragdoll), always using specific tools and products. This activity is not only beneficial in removing any dirt and improving the quality of the coat, but also prevents the formation of hairballs in the small feline’s stomach.<\/p>\n

How do you keep a cat always clean?<\/h2>\n

In order to practise grooming successfully and not to stress the cat, it is necessary to create a special space in the house, dedicated to these grooming moments, that becomes familiar to our little friends.<\/p>\n

Grooming <\/strong>can be a playful and bonding time with one’s owner: contrary to popular belief, most animals enjoy these activities. The main advice is to create a routine <\/strong>that is not forced and to spread the various activities over the weeks and months.<\/p>\n

It is necessary to proceed in an orderly manner and to learn as we go along with our pets the best times to perform the various activities. Like people, cats also have different personalities and can react differently to various treatments.<\/p>\n

Specific tools and products <\/strong>are required for each treatment<\/strong>, which is important to achieve the best result. In addition, home care allows early detection of cases where a trusted veterinarian must be consulted.<\/p>\n
