Taming the Fluff: Grooming Long-Haired Cats

Long-haired cats are beautiful, but high maintenance.

1. Daily Brushing: Use a metal comb (greyhound comb) to get to the roots. Slicker brushes only fluff the top layer.
2. Focus on Friction Zones: Behind ears, armpits, and under the tail are where mats form first.
3. Cornstarch: A little cornstarch can help untangle small knots.
4. Professional Grooming: Go every 3-4 months for a sanitary trim.

A matted cat is a painful cat. Grooming is health care.
