The right tools will make grooming a long-haired cat with double or triple coat layers much easier. When grooming your kitty, you need a de-shedding tool that can reach past the coarse outer layer to the inner coat and efficiently remove loose hair while effectively preventing mats and tangles. Without regular grooming, the finer inner coat layer can easily mat and clump.  A good de-shedding tool can also keep the surface of the skin clean and stimulated.

Hairs that have been detached from their hair follicles are the ones you see on your furniture and carpet. A de-shedding tool removes these hairs before they can be shed off into the environment.

Knowing how to use grooming tools and starting a grooming regimen while your kitty is still very young will help you avoid grooming problems.
