Basic cat care
- Combing is the most important thing. Long-haired daily, short-haired 1-2 times a week
- Bathing - usually not necessary (cats lick themselves). Sphinxes - once every 1-2 weeks
- Ear cleaning - once every 2-4 weeks
- Nail trim - once every 3-4 weeks, tips 2 mm
- Teeth brushing - 2-3 times a week or dental treats
- Eye care - for Persian/exotics, wipe tear tracks daily
Wool in the stomach is the main problem
Cats lick fur when washing; in long-haired cats, it rolls up in the stomach into lumps (trichobezoars). This causes vomiting and, with large bezoars, intestinal obstruction. Prevention:
- Pastes with malt – Beaphar Malt Paste, 8in1 Hairball
- Treats with malt extract - 1-2 per week
- Grass for cats - sprouted oats or special achene
- Food with anti-hair formula - Royal Canin Hairball Care, Hills
Care according to coat type
Long-haired (Maine Coon, Persian, Ragdoll) - slicker brush + comb daily. Semi-longhair (Norwegian, Siberian) - 2-3 times a week. Shorthair (British) - 1-2 times a week. Sphinxes - daily wipe with napkins to remove excess sebum, bathing once every 1-2 weeks.
Frequently asked questions
How to accustom a cat to brushing? Start with a soft brush 30 seconds after eating (relaxed state). Praise with your voice and treats. Gradually increase the time.
Scratching post or nail clipping?Both are needed. Scratching post - for natural “sharpening” and removing dead layers. Haircut - shorten the ends to avoid scratching.
How to remove the smell of urine from a sweeping cat? An enzymatic neutralizer (Beaphar Stop-it Cat), which decomposes uric acid. Conventional detergents do not neutralize it.
