Grooming Long Haired Cats

Tuesday, January 17, 2012

Cats are lovable felines and have always grown attached to humans, much like humans become attached to them. The bond that is shared between the furry feline and its owner is a special one that only the owner and feline really understand. When I first moved to Indiana, I temporarily left my cats at my parent’s house until they could bring them to me the following weekend. When my cats were reunited with me, they checked out the area and almost as soon as the lights went out, my female started meowing frantically and would not calm down until she was snuggled as close as she could possibly get to me with my arm wrapped around her. She wanted comfort, and I knew just how to give it to her. All cat people understand this bond between cat and human, which is why giving them the best care possible is all we, humans, really want to give to them.

One thing to do for your feline is a bath, especially if your cat is long-haired. If you’re not a groomer or are not experienced in giving cats a bath, this may come to you as a shock. Did you know that the upkeep on a long-haired cat is easier if the fur was regularly cleaned? All cats sweat, but with long-haired cats, the sweat generally remains on the body or hair for longer periods and can cause the fur to become tangled. Yes, they do clean themselves regularly, but they need help with keeping it clean, and much like a small child, they may fight and do whatever they can to not have to endure the lengthy bath. If given baths regularly though, the fighting will subside and eventually they will calm and take it.

You may be wondering what you need prior to giving them a bath. Something you want to make sure you have is Dawn dish washing soap. As weird as this sounds, its beneficial to the fur and skin on your beloved cat. It helps remove the sweat and grease, while not being too harsh on the skin. Also, you may want to invest in a good shampoo that will not only additionally clean the fur, but also make it shine.

You will also need a good comb, nail clippers, and a blow dryer. Be sure to comb the fur completely prior to a bath, as this will help you rinse the shampoos and conditioners out completely. If you don’t rinse extremely well, it will cause itching and irritation, which is never comfortable. Clipping their nails prior to the bath will be beneficial to you, especially if your cat is not used to the bathing process.

The blow dryer you choose needs to be suitable as in it cannot become too hot or overheated. You can get a hand held dryer, but be sure that it is on cool. Check out this blog on drying techniques.

Shaving Long Haired Cats

Monday, October 10, 2011

When it comes to long haired cats, the question sometimes lingers; should I shave my cat? If you are thinking you might need to, chances are that you probably should. There are many reasons and benefits to giving your cat a haircut.

The reasons to get your cat groomed can be endless. Maybe you don’t have much time or patience to comb them every day, but obviously you don’t want them to be matted or knotted. It also would be a good idea if you live in a warm or hot climate. The shave will help keep your cat feeling cool and would make it easier for her to groom herself. Shedding and hairballs tend to go away after getting that haircut. Giving your longhaired cat a shave also will reduce hairballs because there is less fur available for them to digest.

Usually, the best time to shave your long haired feline is before the coat has time to mat and knot. Mats generally wear the blades down and cause the process of giving your cat a haircut is much more difficult. Mats also add discomfort to your pet. By removing the fur, it will allow your cat to feel better about him and live a happier lifestyle. Many people believe that long hair cats do not like being shaved. Although they may not like the actual process of being shaved, they do enjoy the feeling of comfort that it brings.

When I shave my Persians, they tend to be happier. This is because they don’t have the constant strain of any mats or knots that could occur prior to my combing them. It also helps them be cleaner, and cats are obsessed with being clean. Ever notice how much they clean themselves? They do it a lot.
