Make sure there's always fresh water, too. If your cat is a longhair, remember to groom it daily. Shorthairs need brushing only once or twice a week to remove dead hairs. Grooming time is also when you will spot any injuries, early signs of illness, or fleas. Best of all, it helps you to bond with your cat, who will enjoy the attention.
Grooming is more than beauty care.
Longhairs depend on daily brushing to prevent tangles that, if neglected, may need to b clipped out by the vet. There's no need to worry unless your pet can't get rid of its fur balls. If you spot the danger signs of a dry cough and loss of appetite, head for the vet. To make sure that curiosity doesn't kill your cat, check the house for dangers. Tuck electrical cords out to the way where they can't be chewed, and remember to put away poisonous household chemicals such as bleach.
