While cats are capable of self-grooming, pet owners need to actively participate in maintaining their cats’ hygiene. Signs such as a scruffy coat or visible dandruff indicate the need for owner assistance. Cats that are old, injured, sick, or affected by gastrointestinal or urinary problems may require extra care. Regular grooming not only promotes skin health but also limits hair ingestion and shedding. Gradually introducing grooming can make cats more comfortable, and rewarding them can foster positive experiences during grooming sessions.
Cats are expert self-groomers, but that doesn't mean cat parents are off the hook for their kitty's hygiene needs.
If a cat's coat is looking scruffy, matted, or you notice dandruff-like flakes, they probably need your help.
Cats with diarrhea or urinary issues may need help staying clean, especially long-haired cats.
Daily brushing helps improve skin and coat health and reduces hair ingestion and shedding.
