Slicker brushes are versatile enough for all cat coats. The short bristles will grab and remove loose hairs and debris, leading to less hair ingested by your cat. A daily brush will help reduce the amount of hair shed around your home. Keep in mind that frequent brushing will reduce tangles and matting in long-haired cats. Brushing also helps improve coat shine by spreading the natural oils produced by their skin. Some cats love brushing, while others don’t, so remember to take it slow and brush small areas at a time to start. Regular brushing will also help you inspect your cat’s skin for lumps, bumps, parasites or abnormalities.
