Cats seem to do everything with a runway attitude, whether they’re presenting you with a dead mouse or eating a bowl of tuna. Here’s how to make your cat look even more regal.
Brush your cat’s coat in the direction that the fur naturally grows from head to tail. Though cats do clean themselves on a regular basis, a good brushing will help keep Kitty’s hair off your furniture and hairballs out of her stomach.
For short-haired cats, first brush them with a metal comb, then use your bristle or rubber brush to remove dead and loose hair.
Brush the cat’s legs and belly, carefully untangling any knots you may find. You can use a pair of blunt scissors to cut out any difficult mats.
If your cat has fleas, brush her with a fine-toothed flea comb.
If your cat tends to scratch a lot, trim his or her nails every 2 to 6 weeks.
Never trim a cat’s whiskers—they’re one of the most sensitive parts of its body.
Now that you’ve untangled any problematic fur, give your cat another full-body brush. Then set her free and reward her with all the petting she can handle.
A cat’s whiskers are so sensitive that they can even detect changes in air pressure—meaning that Kitty can use them to feel her way in the dark.
