Cat health cat welfare

Cat health cat welfare: "My cat grooms himself - is it necessary for me to groom him?
Kittens are normally taught by their mothers to groom themselves, but their mother grooms them too, and this is why cats often love you to groom them with the grooming brush - it reminds them of the feel of their mother's rough tongue. Certainly long-haired cats require regular grooming otherwise their coats will become matted and knotted. Short-haired cats also enjoy grooming, though it doesn't have to be so frequent as with long-haired cats. Both long-haired and short-haired cats moult, and grooming gets rid of the loose hairs so the cat will swallow less of them. Swallowing loose or dead hairs can result in hairballs which the cat sometimes vomits up. This sometimes seems distressing but is not necessarily a major problem for the cat. Grooming also helps distribute the natural oils in the coat so your cat's coat will look glossy. There is a fantastic selection of products here to help you with all aspects of your cat's grooming: Cat Hair Care Products at PetCareCentral.com! "
