Mostly brushing, rarely bathing.

Cat grooming is a brushing job, and the brushing is not cosmetic. It is what keeps hairballs down and what makes matting on a long-haired cat visible before it becomes a pelt that has to be shaved off.

Before you buy

What we would check first.

A comb, not just a brush

A brush glides over the top of a mat. A metal comb finds it, which is the point.

Never scissors on a mat

Cat skin lifts into a mat and is cut through more often than anyone admits. Mats come off with clippers or they come off at a vet visit.

Nail clippers for indoor cats

An indoor cat that never wears its claws down can grow one back into the pad, which is very painful and easily missed.

Asked most

The questions people ask in this aisle.

My cat hates being brushed. Any way round it?

Short and often beats long and thorough: one minute a day in the direction the coat lies, stopping before the cat objects rather than after. A grooming glove is accepted by cats that refuse a brush entirely.

Do grooming wipes replace a bath?

For most purposes yes, and they are far less stressful. They will not do for anything toxic on the coat or a medicated wash your vet has asked for.

Not sure what your pet actually needs? A vet at the visit will tell you, and will say when the answer is nothing. Book a home visit
