Cat Grooming Made Easy

Cat grooming can be made easy and is important to maintain the hygiene of the cat. It also keeps the cats in the best of their health. Make a habit of grooming your cat regularly. Do it as the first thing in the morning. Gradually it will develop into a habit - both for you and the cat. You will also need a tool kit with a brush,comb,clippers,and tooth brush. Trim the cat's toenails regularly. This will prevent scratching of furniture and draperies and also help the cat walk more easily. Start nail cutting from an early age so that the cat gets used to the experience easily. While cutting the nail, take the paw and press under the pad so that the nail comes out. Cut the nail tip and stay away from the pink vein (or quick) because it is sensitive and will hurt if you cut into it.Brush your cat regularly, especially if your cat is longhaired one. This will prevent tangled hairs and hairball. Always brush in the direction of your cat's coat. Going against the grain can irritate her skin. If the hair is tangled too greatly, cut the hair off in order to remove the tangle. Don't leave a tangle untouched.Clean the cat's teeth regularly. Wet a cloth and dip it in salt and baking soda and rub it on its teeth. This will help clean its gums and mouth and keep it healthy. Also clean its eyes. To do this, use a mild salt-and-water mix. Use a cotton swab dipped in the mix to rub around the eyes.
