Groom, Rub and Love Me!

While most cats seem to do a good job of grooming themselves, it’s still very important to regularly groom your cat.

Regular brushing will help keep your cat’s fur well-conditioned with natural oils, avoid painful tangles and mats as well as keep the skin clean and irritant-free. (Look for bald patches, signs of fleas, ticks or other parasites and unusual bumps, wounds, infections or tenderness.)
Daily brushing helps cut down on hairballs from excess fur.
Regular grooming can help detect any potential issues early.

Both grooming and massaging will help your cat relax and naturally strengthens the bond between you. Massaging should start with the areas your cat already enjoys being touched with slow, soft and gentle strokes down their back, slow circular motions on the shoulders, rubbing behind the ears and under the chin. While some cats hate having their paws touched, others love having the center pad of each paw gently rubbed. (It’s also a great time to moisturize dry, itchy or cracked pads too!)
