Cat Grooming
                     Cat Grooming: Keeping Your Feline Friend Happy and Healthy 
 
 
 
Cats are known for being self-groomers, but that doesn't mean they don't 
need a little help sometimes. Regular cat grooming can help to remove 
mats and tangles, prevent skin problems, and keep your cat's coat looking 
its best. 
 
How often should I groom my cat? 
 
The frequency of grooming depends on a number of factors, including your 
cat's breed, coat type, and activity level. Long-haired cats and cats 
with active lifestyles will need to be groomed more often than short-
haired cats or cats with sedentary lifestyles. 
 
A good general rule of thumb is to groom your cat once a week. However, 
some cats may need to be groomed more or less often, depending on their 
individual needs.
