Got
Fur? A Little Spring Cleaning Goes a Long Way!
Regular grooming can help cut down on loose hair and feline
allergens before they are released into your home. Hairballs can also
become a problem if your cat is not brushed regularly.
Bad Hair Day?!
To avoid irritating your cat’s skin, use a comb with slightly rounded
teeth. Many cats enjoy this "massage" and will sit still for the
pampering! Regular combing will help prevent mats and decrease
shedding and hairballs.
YOU can clip your cat’s claws!
Gently press on the toe with your thumb and index finger to expose the
nail. Clip just the small hook or about 1/8" of the claw. Avoid the
reddish-pink line within the nail - this is the vein or "quick".
Standard nail clippers will work just fine.
Bathing
Beauty!
Bath time doesn’t have to be a struggle for you or your kitty. Use a
shampoo especially formulated for cats and, to make it easier, don’t
use too much. A small amount goes a long way and takes less rinsing. A
shower sprayer works best to get out the soap residue.
