Those of us who live with cats know that they can be very affectionate and exceptional companions. However, if they have hairs, it is not difficult for us to know where they have been, right? Fortunately, we can do something or other to prevent them from releasing so much and, incidentally, keep it soft and untangled.
Let us know how to brush my cat's hair.
The trick is to get used to it
If you have a kitten, the ideal is that you start getting used to the brush or comb that you are going to use today. But if he is an adult, you can also get him to agree to being brushed by following these steps:
- The first thing you have to do is show him the brush. Let him get close to him, smell him.
- Give him some cat treats so that he begins to associate the object with something positive (the prize you give him).
- Congratulate him by saying some nice words in a sweet tone, like "good boy / girl", or "very good" so that you feel more and more comfortable in the presence of the brush.
- Now, take it and gently run it over the back, then the legs and tail. Give him prizes with each pass.
- When you finish, congratulate him again caressing him for example.
How many times do I have to brush my cat's hair?
Brushing should be part of our daily routine if we have a cat with hair, be it long, medium-long or short. Keep in mind, in addition, that they spend a lot of time grooming themselves, and in the process they can swallow a significant amount of hair that they must be able to expel; if they don't, they could have problems.
Therefore, it is advisable to brush them at least once a day, but if it is long or in the molting season, We will brush it between 2 and 3 times / day.
So your furry will not have to worry about anything 😉.
