How Healthy Is Your Cat’s Fur Coat ?

The fur of your cat fur can tell you about the status of their health. A coat that is shiny with clear skin can be indicative of a cat that is healthy. On the other hand, a coat that is greasy, with bald patches and skin that is dry can be a sign of problems in health.

Cats are fond of cleaning themselves. Cats use the rough texture of their tongue to lick certain parts of their fur. Despite that, it is still important that you provide your cat with a groom as well.

Grooming will depend on the breed of your cat for a cat breed that has long hair like the Norwegian Forest is required to be groomed daily to make sure that their fur doesn’t get tangled. This breed of cat also sheds regularly which means that your house will be full of cat hair.

Cat breeds that have short hair, like Domestic Shorthair, only need grooming once a week. They also don’t shed as much compared to their longhaired counterparts.

Any problem affecting your pet's skin and/or hair coat should require a visit to your pet clinic Ellicott City MD.
