Cats love to clean themselves, but you still need to take the time to brush them, especially if they have long hair. In summer, they can lose large amounts of fur so a thorough brushing will keep them cool and your house clean. Once a week should usually be enough if they have short hair (longer hair should be brushed every few days). Use a wire pin brush, gently stroking from head towards the tail. Brushing up from the belly will help remove knots and dead hair. Look through the Oster range of brushes and combs to find the perfect thing for your pet.
