Long-Haired Cat Care: Daily Brushing, Mats, and Grooming Timing
Long-haired cats are beautiful, but their coats need much more care than short coats. Loose hair can stay trapped, form mats, and increase hairballs.
Daily Brushing
Use a metal comb to reach the undercoat, a pin brush for the surface, and a de-shedding tool during shedding season. Work in sections, follow the direction of the coat, and never pull hard on tangles.
Mats and Sensitive Areas
Small tangles can be loosened gently from the ends. Tight mats close to the skin should not be cut with scissors, because cat skin is thin and easy to injure. The belly, armpits, behind the ears, and rear area need extra attention.
Professional Help
See a professional groomer for large mats, sanitary trims, bathing that needs thorough drying, or cats that are too stressed at home. Good grooming prevents skin irritation and reduces hairball problems.
