What is the best brush for cats?
We have seen a very varied selection, but if I had to stick with one it was a recommended option for almost any cat, it would undoubtedly be this:
Advantages:
- It does not cut the hair and neither does it harm the fur of the feline.
- The handle is good to hold.
- Easy to clean.
- Keeps the coat healthy and with its natural shine.
- Removes much of the dead hair.
- It is ideal for cats with short hair.
Disadvantages:
The only thing is that this particular model is not very suitable for cats with semi-long or long hair.
How to choose one?
As we have seen, there are many types of brush models and choosing one is not always an easy task. But do not worry, below I am going to give you a few tips so that your purchase is the most successful according to your needs and those of your cat:
Animal hair length
Although there are several models of brushes that are suitable for any length of hair, if you are looking for a specific one for your cat you have to look closely at the description of the brushes, since for example those that are for long-haired cats usually have the longest bristles or quills than those for short-haired cats.
Massages: yes or no?
Cats, especially young ones, can have a hard time getting used to the brushing routine. To get them to be calm and relaxed, it is highly recommended to buy them a brush that acts as a massager, at least at the beginning.
Is a brush-glove or a brush better?
Both one and the other will be very useful as long as you use them for what they were made. I explain: brush gloves are highly recommended when the cat has short or very short hair, since the spikes are made of plastic, with rounded and short tips; while the brushes themselves have somewhat stiffer tines, which can hurt a Sphynx for example.
Price
It is true that more or less all cat brushes are worth the same, but be careful: sometimes cheap is expensive, and expensive may not meet what is expected of it. So if you doubt, read the opinions of other buyers. In this way, you will know well if that brush you have chosen is the one you really need or not.
The importance of brushing cats
Cats are animals that spend a good part of their time grooming themselves. In fact, you could almost say that they have a true obsession with their personal hygiene, something that is completely justified. And it is that, although today many of them already live in safe houses with humans, they still carry the instinct of a "wild" feline (like that of their cousins the lions, cheetahs, etc.) very awake in their genes.
For this reason, they still feel the urgent need to remove all the dirt they have, no matter how small. But not only that: they also get rid of any odor that may have clung to their fur. The reason? Unnoticed. And the thing is that in nature, if you get no one to smell or see you, you will be able to live one more day.
It's true. There is no danger within four walls, but this your genes do not know, and the survival instinct is very, very strong.
And what does that have to do with cat brushes? Very simple: the furry ones that live inside the houses tend to lose much more hair than those that are outside. This causes them to groom themselves much more, something that in turn can cause them serious problems since on their tongue they have tiny hooks in which weak or dead fur clings to them.
In normal situations, all that hair that the animal swallows is eliminated through the anus, with the feces; But when the accumulated amount is too large, symptoms of having hairballs in the stomach appear: vomiting, loss of appetite and general malaise.
To prevent our beloved feline from reaching that situation, you have to brush it daily, up to two and three times if you have long hair, and once or twice if you have short or semi-long hair, with a cat brush.
We hope you were able to find the one you are looking for 😉.
