Think a hairless cat requires less grooming than other breeds? Think again! Here is everything you need to know about grooming a hairless cat.

Although hairless cats do not need to be brushed, they do require regular baths. Hairless breeds create oil on their skin, like other cats, but because they don’t have fur to soak it all up, they can end up with clogged pores. Their skin can even make furniture in your home greasy. It’s recommended that you bathe a hairless cat once every week or two.

Hairless cats also require some of the same grooming that all other breeds do. You should keep an eye on your cat’s ears, wipe away tear duct residue, and keep your cat’s mouth clean. Because of a hairless cat’s oil situation, you may have to clean a waxy buildup off your cat’s claws.
