cat grooming

Brushing your kitty

Cat grooming is the practice of maintaining a cat's coat, claws, and hygiene—whether done by the cat itself, its owner, or a professional.

Cats are famously self-grooming, spending hours licking their fur, but longhaired breeds or elderly cats may need human assistance: brushing, bathing, nail trimming, or mat removal.

I take my Persian to the groomer every few months.
