The Best Brushes For Long-Haired Pets | The Pack
I learned a lot after adopting my first long-haired cat… don’t even get me started on the dingleberries 💩
I know this is very old and you probably don’t see comments anymore but THANK YOU! Our neighbor passed away and apparently his relatives just threw his very long-haired and traumatized kitty outside and moved away. She lived under our car for almost a year before we gave up trying to get her to warm up to us and just captured her and brought her in. It took months but now she’s _quite_ the princess and loves everyone. Using a regular brush took months and wasn’t very effective. We’re getting her used to it though and needed to move up so she won’t get anymore mats. Now I know what to buy and how to do it! Always had (and have) short-haired.
Can’t find reliable groomers in south MPLS. Only experience with a pro was a nightmare with some crazy lady. Never putting my cat thru that again. This lady has some good ideas.
My ragdoll used to have tons of terrible mats but i finally got rid of them and now we have a good routine. I comb him first with a metal comb and then I use the slicker brush. He takes it pretty good now and then he gets his push up treat. I think he knows he will get knots and mats if er don’t. I only need to groom him about every other day or 2 days but i don’t let it go more than that. It was too stressful.
I just did this with my long hair grey cat and my arm looks like a pin cushion. On a more positive note I got the mats out of his fur 🤣
this is a very calm cat!
