British cats are one of the most popular breeds among Russians.

Despite the fact that they do not belong to long-haired breeds, combing British cats has its own peculiarities.

Let's figure out how to get rid of excess hair correctly.

The subtleties of combing a British cat

To keep your British cat's fur looking beautiful and well-groomed, it needs to be brushed at least 1-2 times a week.

It is essential to brush your cat before it starts shedding: this will remove old hair and help new hair grow.

Some individuals may require more frequent brushing. This applies to older cats who are no longer able to take care of themselves as well as they did when they were younger.

It is best to brush such pets every two days.

To take care of a cat you will need:

  • rubber glove;
  • furminator;
  • comb-brush;
  • mat cutter.

However, it is not recommended to use a slicker brush, as there is a risk of injuring the cat’s skin.
