Cat Brushing

Most of the cats make up regularly the hair, except if they have pains, are sick or are very old. The rumpled aspect of a cat is being first one of the symptoms of bad health. The auto-polishing keeps the cat clean, uses as massage for the skin, removes the fallen hair and stimulates the growth of the hair.

The cats are in the habit of swallowing hair on the cat having licked. These can to remain in the stomach forming balls. To prevent it, the owner must remove regularly with a comb the free hair of his cat, especially if he is changing or losing his hair for an invasion of fleas. It is necessary to begin when the cat is very small, in order that he gets used to this routine. Begin brushing him softly with a smooth brush, when he is eating or laying in our lap. As soon as he has learned to tolerate this with pleasure, it is possible to start using the comb. It is necessary to check the teeth, the hoofs, the eyes and the ears occasionally. It is necessary to encourage and caress the cat all the time, ending every session with a delicacy or a moment of play.

If one neglects a cat or this one refuses the caresses, the hair can get entangled nastily, especially if he is an animal of long hair. Do not use the scissors to cut the tangled pieces; it is possible to damage to the cat, specially if he fights to become untied. Try to use an razor-strop anti-snarl. If this does not work, the veterinarian can sedate the cat and cut him the tangled parts.

If the cat does not have a cap of uniform hair, he can feel cold easily. It will be necessary to have him inside house and far from the hairs or to put a spice of made coat. While the hair is still very short, to start brushing it softly with a child's brush or with a rubber glove. With a bit of stimulus, the cat will learn to accept the polishing.
