ALL THINGS RELATED TO GROOMING! EYE INFECTION, SKIN ALLERGIES, SUNBURN ETC

Today I’ll be talking about everything related to grooming!

You may have noticed your cat cleaning itself all the time. Cats are very hygienic animals, so it’s generally recommended that you groom a long/medium-haired cat daily. Short-haired cats require grooming about once a week. Make sure you brush through your Persian cat’s hair all the time! Hairballs can form, so you must remove any excess hair. You can get special cat brushes that effectively pick any loose hair.

Some people complain that dirt builds up on their feline’s eyes, so it’s difficult to clean. Clean your cat’s eyes/nose with rose water and cotton balls. You can use normal water, but rose water tends to be better. Make sure you do this daily, or else there will be a build-up. Don’t be lazy because otherwise an infection can occur.

You can also use tear stain remover. Whatever starch comes out of the cat’s eyes won’t build up. Tear stain remover helps prevent any eye infection from happening.

If your cat has an eye infection, take it to the vet. You can also use eye drops. Use them twice daily, and you will start to see some improvement. Tobrex can be used to clean cats’ eyes as well as their ears, effectively.

Another thing cat owners ask about is whether they should get their cats hair trimmed or cut etc. If your cat has a skin allergy like fungus, then you should get your cat’s fur trimmed. This is so that you can properly clean your cat and the infection can go away as soon as possible.

You must brush your cat’s hair daily because hair mats can form. Hair mats are standard in long-haired cats. When a cat sheds, hair can tangle and form knots. In this situation, you may have to trim your pet’s fur.

Don’t shave off your cat’s hair in the summer. Your cat’s coat is a protection for them. They know how to cool off during the summer. For example, cats will lie flat on their stomach with their paws stretched out when it’s boiling hot.

The same with dogs. You should never shave off their hair because they go out in the sun and so can get severely sunburnt.
