How to care for long haired cats

Basic care for long hair requires certain procedures.

Bathing. The frequency of bathing for both long-haired and short-haired cats is very individual.

This depends on the degree of contamination of the pet’s skin.

Combing. It is recommended to brush your cat every day if possible.

Due to the fact that there is a lot of space between the hairs, they are easily mixed and tangled.

Therefore, the main care for cats of long-haired breeds is aimed at untangling and preventing tangles.

Your pet needs to be brushed daily for 15-20 minutes.
