Is your cat leaving hair all over the back of your couch? What about throwing up hairballs on your rug? It sounds like your cat may need some grooming help! The biggest myth among feline owners is that cats are entirely self-cleaning animals. The truth is, cats need help maintaining those beautiful coats, with some long coated breeds requiring daily brushing at home, as well as regular help from a professional groomer.

 

While cats are vigorously cleaning themselves for hours a day, their tongues are unable to clean every part of their bodies, and even the shortest haired cats can struggle to clean themselves all the way down to the skin. This is especially true for seniors and cats that have become overweight. Overly greasy or dandruffy coats can become tangled, quickly becoming tight matting that can become painful for your cat.  Excessive shedding can mean your cat is consuming large amounts of dead undercoat and cannot digest the hair. Resulting in vomiting up hairballs and even lethargy. These are problems easily solved with regular professional grooming.

 

A well groomed cat is a happy cat.
