The frequency of brushing a cat depends on the length of its fur.

The medium length coat needs to be brushed almost daily to prevent possible matting.

Long-haired cats need to be brushed daily, otherwise their fur will become matted and will have to be trimmed with scissors.

Long-haired cats also shed much more often, and brushing will help keep this process under control.

Regular brushing of cats has a number of important health benefits for your pet.

This process helps prevent hairballs, promotes its health, and makes it possible to monitor the condition of the skin and detect possible lumps or bumps.
