HOW TO GROOM HIMALAYAN CAT

by ABK Grooming

Himalayan cats are famous for their luxurious coats, lovely eyes, and flat features. The Himalayan cat's coat is made up of long, luxuriant fur. Because it is silky, the coat is lovely to touch. However, because they lose their coat frequently, their lengthy coat can quickly create mats and tangles. As a result, brushing the coat on a regular basis is required. The greatest grooming method is to brush your Himalayan cat's coat every day. A brush will get rid of all the dead and shed hair before it becomes knots. The brush will also collect shed hair before it falls to the floor. One advantage of grooming your cat is that it maintains a clean coat all of the time. Another advantage of frequent grooming is that it prevents future skin disorders. Grooming your Himalayan cat will require specialized equipment. Keep in mind that the Himalayan cat is a high-maintenance cat breed

 


GROOMING YOUR HIMALAYAN CAT

  1. BRUSHING:

Brush your cat on a daily basis starting at a young age to get her used to it. Give your cat lots of praise and a treat after each grooming session to encourage her to enjoy grooming even more. Begin by brushing your cat's back and then moving to the sides of her body with a wire slicker brush. Be careful to brush your cat's tummy, chest, and tail as well with the slicker brush. If any knots appear, turn to the stainless steel greyhound comb and use it to break them up. Begin at the bottom of the tangle and work your way up, bringing the comb closer to your cat's skin as you loosen it. It is extremely possible that your Himalayan may grow matted if you do not brush her every day. Matting can be a painful experience for your cat as well as a frustrating experience for you.
 
  1. NAIL TRIMMING:

Most cats will scratch and move about to grind down their own claws. If your Himalayan is not extremely active or does not use scratching posts much, you may need to trim her claws every few weeks. When clipping your cat's claws, simply trim the white tips and not the pink areas farther down the claw. Trim your cat's nails with a guillotine-style pet nail trimmer.
 
  1. BATHING:

Himalayans have quite a lot of fur, so bathing them on a regular basis is necessary for keeping them clean. Bathe your Himalayan from a young age to increase her likelihood of accepting it. If you intend to display your Himalayan, you should bathe her every other day to preserve her fur in good condition.
 
  1. EYE CLEANING:

Some Himalayan cats suffer from coloration behind their eyes, therefore you should clean your Himalayan's eyes every day to avoid this. Once a day, clean the area around your Himalayan eyes with a gentle, wet towel. Make certain that the area is completely dry.
