Grooming
Your Cats
|
Grooming your cat on a regular basis will
remove any loose fur that could end up in the cat's
digestive system, causing constipation,
fur balls, and discomfort that can also result in
your cat throwing up on a regular basis.
As a cat grooms itself by licking its fur, quite
a large amount of that fur ends up being swallowed
and when this is combined with the food in its stomach
fur balls develop that need to be eliminated one way
or another.
Longer haired cats obviously have a bigger problem
than those with short hair, and they will need a lot
more grooming to remove loose hair.

In addition to removing the loose fur, grooming can also
get rid of any fleas that might be on your cat. While there
are good flea formulations on the market, this regular grooming
helps keep your cat in better condition and it also allows
you to check if there are any other problems that might
need attending to, particularly with tomcats as they get
into fights with other cats that can lead to sores and infection.
If cats are living near farmland and they venture out into
the fields they can get ticks in vast numbers in a very
short time and grooming helps to remove a lot of these before
they can cause too much trouble for your cat.
Grooming with a good cat comb also stops the fur from knotting.
If left unattended for too long, and particularly with cats
that have long hair, this knotting can get so matted that
they need to have the fur cut to remove it.
Knotted fur can form into hard lumps that can cause distress
for the cat.
Regular grooming and good
nutrition will ensure that your cat has a nice shiny
coat, few problems with constipation and fur balls, and
less chance of getting any other skin related problems.
