Deshedding Your Cat
Ever wondered if you can deshed your cat? We're not kitten you when you say not only can you deshed them, you SHOULD!
How do I use the Refuresh deshedding Brush?
The Refuresh should be used to deshed your cat similarly to dogs by removing any large knots or tangles in the fur before deshedding. We recommend using light pressure by gently gliding the tool across your cat’s fur, ejecting loose fur as you go for optimum efficiency. The Refuresh is best used after washing on dry, clean fur only.
Is the Refuresh suitable for my cat?
For medium to long hair cats, we recommend using the Long Hair Type Refuresh deshedding tool as cats usually have fine/softer hair than their canine counterparts. Our deshedder is suitable for most cat breeds, including the Scottish Fold, Ragdoll, Siberian, and British Long Hair. For the full list of cat breeds suitable for deshedding, click here.
The most common cat-grooming questions: Do I really need to groom my cat?
Grooming cats is essential for their health and well-being. Regular grooming using a deshedding cat brush, helps remove loose fur, reduces the risk of matting, and stimulates blood circulation.
By using a deshedding cat brush during grooming, you can also help distribute natural oils, keeping your cat's coat shiny and healthy. Grooming also allows you to check for skin issues or parasites early, ensuring your cat stays in top condition.
How often should I groom my cat?
The frequency of grooming cats depends on their coat type and shedding patterns. Short-haired cats typically need grooming once a week, while long-haired cats benefit from more frequent sessions, especially during shedding seasons. Regular use of a deshedding cat brush or cat deshedder during these sessions can significantly reduce loose fur and manage shedding more effectively.
What are the best tools for managing cat shedding?
The best tools for managing cat shedding include deshedding cat brushes, slicker brushes, and grooming gloves. A high-quality cat deshedder is especially effective in removing loose fur from both short and long-haired cats. When selecting a tool, consider your cat's coat type; for instance, the Refuresh deshedding brush offers tailored options for different coat lengths, ensuring efficient grooming.
