cat grooming routine to use once a week on your longhaired cat, also about hair matting and brushing cat coat

My longhaired cat goes through frequent hair grooming sessions to control hair shedding. I usually go through a cat grooming routine every other weekend. I also have a number of tools and a refreshing / detangling / static reducing cat spray.

Your Best Friend: a rake cat brush

Grooming My Cat Marshmallow is tough! He will try to squirm, but for the most part, he will stay in one place. I do a lot of talking and try to keep myself calm and listen to music... I found that if I'm calm, the cat will too settle down and remain still, at least as much as he can. (have you EVER tried to control a cat?!? - you'll quickly find it's nearly impossible).

how i groom my longhaired cat:

step 2

step 1

Spray my hands with the special spray (Pro Pet Salon De tangling and Freshening Spray - For Cats

Use a cat rake brush to take off hair from body and tail - I use SAFARI's rake brush, they're the best in my opinion.

To groom long haired cat with mats, during this step, first take a pair of scizzors and cut out the mats. Then, take a small-toothed comb and try to comb through what's left. Do not try to wash the mats off, they will just stick together.

step 3

Use zoom groom to get loose hair off

step 4

Use a slicker brush to pick up the rest

step 5

Use a special comb brush with round tips to get the hair mats under legs and arms and on the tummy

step 6

and Spray the cat again and brush with a rake for the last time.
