Brushes for Your Kitty


I suppose, you must own one or more brushes for grooming your cat. But, do you even know what are the types and use of these brushes? Here are some info on these:

Basically, there are different types of brushes;

1. BRISTLE
This can be used on all coat types. Generally, the longer the hair coat, the longer bristles should be; and the coarser the hair, the stiffer bristles are needed.

2. WIRE-PIN
This is preferred choice, for pets with medium to long hair and those with curly or woolly coats.It comes with or without rubber-tipped ends.

3. SLICKER
This brush have fine wire bristles and are especially useful for removing mats and tangles.

4. FINE TOOTHED COMB
Combs are good for all but wiry coats. They are helpful at moving any small knots of hair. For more severe knots or mats, you need to use a matbreaker.

5. RUBBER CURRY
Made from rubber; effective at massaging the skin and removing dead hair. Excellent to use as final follow-up to a grooming session.


When brushing your kitty, be gentle and be patient. Be extra careful when removing the mats/tangles.
