Cat Zoom Groom

Product Information

The Mars Coat King Bristle Cat Hair Brush is your best bet for keeping the peace with your short-haired cat. Just like long-haired cats, short-haired cats also have unique grooming needs. Long bristles and wire brushes can scratch their skin and cause irritation and injury. Fortunately, the Mars Boar Bristle Cat Hair Brush has supple bristles that go easy on your cat’s delicate skin. Keep sessions short and sweet – confident, gentle strokes work best – start with a couple of strokes and stop before your cat loses interest, gets cross or runs off. Generally very slowsweeps of the hand that lingertoo long in notoriously "touchy" regions of a cat's body (eg the tummy, tail length or legs)can test their tolerance levels and result in a more antsy cat and a less productive session in my experience. Equally at the other end of the spectrum very short, sharp and frequent strokescan be very energising and also up the chances of a shorter, less successful grooming session. I find I get a better response from cats if aI take the middle of the road approach and use calm, gentle but deliberate strokes with even pressure from start to finish.

It helps massively if grooming is introduced to all kittens in the first few months of life.Getting your new kitten to associate being groomed by you as a pleasurable experience is a really important early lesson and it will really help them cope with this and other handling throughout their life. Even if you get your cat later on in their life, there are still lots of ways to make grooming a positive experience, but you need to introduce grooming slowly and gently and always stop before your cat has had enough. The above 4 brushes are what I believe to be the best brushes for long-haired cats currently available. My top recommendations for cat brushes

I've change my opinion and my rating of the product. It loosens the hair nicely but you need to brush the loose hair out. Some general factors you’ll need to consider when choosing the best grooming brush for your cat include bristle type, brush size and shape, brush material, ergonomics, and cleaning requirements. Bristle Type If you use the brush on short-haired cats you’ll need to be careful so the fine bristles do not scratch or irritate their skin.

Once a week use a brush designed for grooming and removing their undercoat and then on the other brushes throughout the week, just use a brush designed for smooth and shine of the topcoat. Anyway, our cat loved the dollar store brush, so I figured he'd like this one. He only let me comb him for a few minutes before loosing interest and wanting to go away. I could tell he loved it, but was a little too over-stimulated, so I started doing it more slowly, and he liked that. We also keep it in the bathroom now because for some reason he always follows us in there and begs to be petted, so now we just use the zoom groom to pet him, and he likes it in the bathroom. I don't get him, but whatever. The Liaka comb further provides a gentle massage for your cat which is good for preventing skin disease. The massaging bristles take with white caps that won’t scratch your cat, furthermore increasing their blood circulation. It is best to consult with your veterinarian and/or grooming professional about your cat’s particular grooming needs so that you can get the best tools to help keep them happy and healthy.Quit while you're winning - end the session before things get heated and you cat gets antsy. Otherwise allthey'll remember is the frustration and fleeing your grasp with a grumpy look on their face or worse a swipe or a bite.

If the mats are only affecting your cat’s fur, a professional groomer can remove them either by combing or by shaving them off with electric clippers. If the mats are affecting the skin, however, veterinary care may be needed to remove them and care for any inflammation and irritation. This is the pet’s undercoat. It has a soft and downy texture and it provides insulation and protection, while the topcoat is made up of ‘guard hairs’ whose primary function is to keep the pet’s skin dry. Features to look for in a cat grooming brushIf your cat has mats which cannot be removed by a brush, you may need to take them to a specialist cat groomer or your veterinarian to have them removed. Be extremely careful trying to remove mats yourself with scissors – cat skin is easily cut.
