Most healthy adult cats can groom themselves reasonably well. However, this doesn’t mean that they won’t need a hand in keeping their fur looking it’s best and making sure they are comfortable. In fact, even the most capable cat will need to be brushed regularly, if for nothing else than removing any foreign debris she picked up while wandering around your living space. Others will need more attention to keep tangles from creeping up into their fur and to help prevent matting, particularly in longhaired cats. Some cats will need even more assistance, like those who have become injured or ill, are very young or very old, or have joint issues hindering their movement. Keep a close eye on your pet and help her in the areas she seems to be having trouble with caring for on her own. Your local Greenville, SC vet clinic can help you care for your pet.
