Hair care can vary according to the type of hair and the breed of the cat. Below, then, are tips that take these variations into account. They also bring some practical aspects that will make all the difference when taking care of the feline's fur.

Cat fur care: how often to brush?

Cats need fur brushing. This prevents the emergence of knots. Also, the horrible hairballs that form in the cat's throat and stomach after the "bath". This is because cats are “self-cleaning” and thus lick themselves to clean themselves daily.

The absence of brushing, then, is conducive to the accumulation of loose hair. Especially in the shedding season (generally in spring), but not only in this period. And this then leads to the creation of hairballs with feline gagging and vomiting.

This care for the cat's fur also allows the skin to air better. After all, you remove loose hairs from the top layer that impede air circulation. Brushing, finally, stimulates the growth of new hair.

To do the brushing, get your own brush. Also, analyze your feline's fur type and if he has any kind of allergy or skin problem. All this will influence the model of the brush. Likewise, be sure to consult a professional about the best option.

The average number of brushings varies according to the cat's hair type and age. Look:

  • Puppies: brush them every day so they get used to the brushing process;
  • Short-haired adults: brush them once a week;
  • Adult long-haired cats: brush them 2 to 3 times a week.

How to make cat fur smelly?

  • For special skin condition and veterinary indication;
  • When the cat is absurdly soiled, as when rolling on the ground;
  • If they contain long and thick fur;
  • After he enters wet places;
  • When the cat is having difficulty “self-cleaning”.

Also, know that there are cats that love water and bathing. So, if necessary, or once every certain time, you can bathe him. For this, use neutral soap or shampoo.
