Everything you need to know about cat grooming for a shiny, well-groomed coat
Cat grooming not only promotes a beautiful, healthy-looking coat, but also contributes to your cat’s well-being. Although cats take care of much of their own grooming, brushes, combs, de-matting tools and other grooming aids are very useful in everyday life – particularly during the moulting season, for long-haired cats or for older cats that no longer groom themselves as thoroughly.
Why regular coat care is important
Regular brushing removes loose hair, dust, and small bits of dirt. At the same time, grooming can help reduce hairballs and prevent matting. Many cats also enjoy gentle grooming sessions as a chance to spend time with their owners – provided they are gradually accustomed to it and groomed with the right accessories.
Coat care by hair type
Short-haired cats
Short-haired cats usually have a low-maintenance coat, but still benefit from regular brushing. Loose hairs can be easily removed, particularly during the moulting season. Soft brushes, grooming gloves or fine combs are ideal for cats with short coats.

Semi-long-haired cats
Semi-long-haired cats require a little more grooming, as loose hairs can become tangled in the coat more quickly. Regular combing helps to remove small knots at an early stage and keeps the coat loose and well-groomed. Matting often occurs particularly on the belly, chest, armpits and hind legs.

Long-haired cats
Long-haired cats such as Persians or Maine Coons require particularly intensive coat care. Their thick, long coats can quickly become knotted or matted. Combs, de-matting tools and special brushes are essential for gently caring for their coats and preventing skin irritation. Short, regular grooming sessions are often more pleasant than infrequent, lengthy brushing sessions.

Cats with a thick undercoat
Cats with a thick undercoat often shed heavily, particularly in spring and autumn. Special undercoat brushes or detangling combs help to remove dead hair without putting unnecessary strain on the topcoat. This keeps the coat lighter and well-groomed.

Sphynx cats and very short coats
Even cats with no fur or very little fur need grooming. As they lack a protective coat, skin oils build up more quickly on their skin. Gentle cleansing wipes or suitable grooming products can help keep the skin clean. You should always ensure you use particularly mild products that are suitable for cats.

The right accessories for cat grooming
Different grooming products are suitable depending on the coat type. Brushes with soft bristles are gentle on sensitive cats, combs help to detangle, and de-matting tools assist with stubborn knots. Grooming gloves are ideal for cats that do not yet like traditional brushes, as they feel like a gentle stroke.
Make grooming a relaxing experience
Get your cat used to grooming gradually. Start with short sessions, praise calm behaviour and choose a time when your cat is relaxed. Tugging and pressure should be avoided at all costs so that grooming remains a positive experience.
