The beauty of pet cats includes many aspects. Some haircuts and styling are just to make cats look better, and some grooming about health management is very important. Before grooming cats, you can do some basic health checks for cats, which can ensure the health of cats' skin.

1. Check the ears, eyes and claws of the pet cat.

Before grooming your pet cat, you should take this opportunity to check whether the cat's ears, cat's eyes and claws are clean and whether there are potential diseases.

2. Health care of pet cat ears

If your pet cat is healthy, don't pay more attention to its ears. Check whether there is dirt in the ear, dip a cotton ball in olive oil to remove the dirt. If the pet cat keeps scratching its ears, it is likely to have an ear disease. Looking for black wax spots in its ears. Another reason why pet cats always scratch their ears may be that their ears are blocked by earwax. If the pet cat continues to scratch, it should be diagnosed by a veterinarian.

The dirt around the cat's eye can be simply wiped off: soak a piece of cotton in warm water and gently wipe it off. The eyes of pet cats should be bright and clean. If there is inflammation or secretion, there may be serious health problems.

4. pet cats wash their faces

Long-haired cats are often prone to lacrimal gland blockage. In this case, tears flow to the cheeks, leaving ugly black spots on the face. In order to remove stains, you should dip a cotton ball in light salt water and then wipe the hair on your cheeks. If this problem occurs frequently, you should seek veterinary treatment.

5. Check the cat's mouth.

Check the teeth of the pet cat for tartar. Ideally, brush your cat's teeth once a week to prevent the formation of tartar. However, your cat may refuse this undignified treatment. If this happens, you need to ask a veterinarian to remove the tartar and polish it once a year.

6. Health care of pet cat paws

Any healthy and active pet cat's claws will be automatically trimmed, because when the pet cat moves, the claws will wear out. However, if your pet cat is old or kept indoors, you should check whether your pet cat's paws need pruning. If you don't trim it, your pet cat's claws may grow into your pet cat's toes, and you need a veterinarian to take care of them.

7. Trim the pet cat's paws

If it is necessary to trim the pet cat's paw, hold the pet cat tightly on the leg, press the pet cat's paw with your fingers, and let the pet cat's paw stretch forward.

Second, the combing method of long-haired pet cats

In the wild world, long-haired cats always change their hair only in winter, while domestic pet cats change their hair all year round because they are kept in a bright and warm environment all year round. Therefore, a long-haired cat needs to comb its hair twice a day for 15 ~ 30 minutes each time. Otherwise, your hair will get tangled. If you don't deal with the tangled fur ball in time, your pet cat will be in great pain, so you have to find a veterinarian to anesthetize your pet cat and then shave off the tangled fur.

Selection of carding supplies

You need a dual-purpose comb with fine teeth and dense teeth, a dual-purpose bristle wire brush for pet cats and a toothbrush. I also need a pair of blunt scissors to cut the tangled hair, and laurel oil promoter (for dark pet cats) and talcum powder (for light pet cats) are rubbed into my hair.

Carding method

1. Use a fine tooth comb to remove dandruff and comb tangled hair. Once the comb can comb the hair smoothly, comb it with a dense tooth comb.

2. Remove all fallen hair with a wire brush. Pay special attention to combing the buttocks, where a lot of hair is likely to be combed off.

3. Sprinkle some talcum powder or bleached soil on your hair. This will make the coat fluffy, increase fullness, and also help to separate the hair, and the paint will fall off immediately.

4. Comb the hair up with a dense tooth comb, and comb off the hair that falls off around the neck to form neck hair.

5. Gently brush the short hair on the pet cat's face with a toothbrush. Be careful not to get too close to the eyes of the pet cat.

6. Finally, repeat the fourth step with a comb with thin teeth, so that you can separate your hair and help them stand up.

Third, the combing method of short-haired pet cats

Short-haired pet cats don't need to comb their hair every day because their fur is easier to manage than long-haired pet cats. Moreover, a short-haired cat's tongue is longer than a long-haired cat's distant relative, which can effectively self-modify. Therefore, grooming short-haired pet cats twice a week for half an hour is enough.

Carding supplies

You need a metal dense tooth comb, a soft brush or rubber brush, some laurel oil promoter (suitable for all hair colors) that can be applied to your hair, and a piece of silk, velvet or silver skin for polishing your hair.

Carding method

1. Comb your hair from head to tail with a metal dense tooth comb. When combing, look for black shiny particles, which are fleas.

2, with a rubber brush, brush along the direction of the hair. If you have a curly pet cat, this brush is essential because it won't scratch your skin.

For some kinds of short-haired cats, you'd better use a soft brush instead of a rubber brush. Similarly, brush in the direction of hair.

4. After brushing, apply some laurel oil promoter to remove the grease from the hair and make the hair shine.

Finally, in order to make the short-haired pet cat's hair shiny, use a piece of silk, velvet or silver skin to "polish" the fur. In the interval of combing, gently massage with clean hands along the direction of hair can also maintain the luster of hair.

Long-haired cats and short-haired cats have different requirements for beauty, but the same thing is that they all need the careful care of their owners. Usually they should observe cats more and pay attention to some details. Many cats get sick because some details are not handled properly. The boss of cat beauty decoration must learn.
