To maintain soft fur, regular grooming is key. For long-haired cats, aim for daily grooming, while short-haired cats can be groomed once or twice a week. Use a cat-specific soft-bristled brush or comb, and be gentle, especially if your cat is new to grooming. However, long-haired breeds may require daily brushing to prevent mats and tangles. Additionally, a nutritious diet with ample protein and essential fatty acids supports healthy fur. Avoid overbathing, and ensure your cat receives routine checkups from the veterinarian to address any potential issues promptly.
