How Grooming Supports Your Cat’s Health

[John87]

Grooming is more than just keeping your cat clean. It helps remove loose fur, prevents hairballs, and allows you to notice physical changes early. Regular grooming sessions can reveal lumps, skin irritation, or parasites that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Brushing also improves blood circulation and spreads natural oils across the coat, keeping it healthy and shiny. For long-haired cats, grooming is especially important to prevent painful matting. Even short-haired cats benefit from routine brushing.

Grooming sessions can strengthen the bond between you and your cat. When done calmly, grooming reduces stress and helps your cat feel secure. It also allows you to monitor weight changes and physical condition closely.

Consistent grooming is a simple but powerful way to support both physical health and emotional well-being.
