The skin and hair of a Cat

Brush your cat from time to time in agreement with the specific needs of his type of hair. Prevent the infestation by fleas, or treat it to the first symptom. It is almost sure that, in three cases of every four, the fleas are behind the dermal problems that happen for the consultation of the veterinarians.

1. Brush the cat daily. (Brushing prevents the formation of knots and tangles, but also it eliminates the dead hair and detaches the flakes of dry skin preventing accumulation. While you brush the animal, you will have the opportunity to examine him thoroughly. It should constitute a pleasure for both. Start doing it every day since the kitten is very young.)
2. Bathe to the feline so frequently- or so infrequently - as be possible. (Follow the advices of his veterinarian. Most of the cats only need to bathe for clinical motives. Use specific shampoos for them until the veterinarian indicates another thing.

Cat Weight Control: To load with a corporal excessive weight is not seems to be so menacing for the health of the cats as for the dogs or the persons. Slender cats, however, are more agile and have less probabilities of damaging. You should notice the ribs of the cat on having caressed him. If it is not like that, probably have overweight. Most of the felines like to eat little by little. Reduce the calories, not the frequency of the food. If your cat is fat and you feed to him frequently but in small quantities and with a low diet in calories, you will satisfy his desire to eat constant.
