Grooming your cat

Brush, trim, check.

4 min read

Cats groom themselves, but a little help keeps them comfortable and lets you spot problems early.

Basics

  • Brush short-haired cats weekly, long-haired cats daily
  • Trim nail tips every few weeks
  • Check ears, eyes and teeth as you groom
  • Ask your vet about brushing teeth
  • Most cats rarely need a bath
