Why You Should Groom
Need a reason to groom your cat? Here are six.
Kathy Swanwick

1. A good brushing helps maintain your cat's shiny coat and healthy skin.

2. The more you brush the less loose hair you'll have around your house and on your clothes.

3. Regular brushing helps reduce the amount of hair the cat ingests while grooming, helping to prevent hairballs.

4. You may detect skin growths, scabs, abscesses or other potential health problems as you run your hands along your cat's body.

5. Grooming helps prevent painful mats, especially in longhaired breeds.

6. Grooming is a wonderful way to bond with your cat.
