Cat Grooming

 

Getting involved in your cat's grooming helps to strengthen the bond between you and provides a chance to check for any signs of ill health with pawz2groom.

 

Most cats get used to grooming - and enjoy it.

 

The benefits of having your cat groomed

Grooming not only stimulates the circulation and improves muscle tone, but also minimizes hairballs in the stomach by removing loose hairs. It smoothes down the fur to insulate the body more efficiently, and stimulates the glands at the base of the hairs which waterproof the coat. In hot weather, licking spreads saliva that cools your cat as it evaporates; grooming also spreads sebum (a natural oil that protects and waterproofs the hair and skin) across the coat.

 

Make grooming part of your cat's regular routine, introducing it as early a possible - ideally when your cat is still a kitten.

 

Grooming will not only give you the chance to spot external parasites and skin wounds, and keep fur off your sofa, you'll also be spending quality time bonding with your pet.
