Best Untangler Tools for Grooming Long Hair Cat Coats
Cats with long hair require frequent grooming to keep mats from forming.
Cats are adept self-groomers when they are in good health, but there may be occasions that they need a bath. If you notice that your long-haired cat has issues with their fur, such as hair loss, redness of skin, dull or dry coat, etc. then health issues might be the problem. Schedule an appointment with your Vet so the issue can be diagnosed and addressed.
With the right tools and techniques, you can reduce shedding, and your furry friend will have a healthy and amazing coat that shines.
1. Use a wide-tooth brush to brush your cat’s fur. Untangler T906PRO Brush
Using a wide-tooth brush to groom your long-haired cat, brush every area of the cat’s fur. Be sure to get their head, back, sides, butt, and belly, and especially the areas where their hair is longest. When brushing your cat’s belly, remember that they’re extra sensitive, so soften your brush strokes.
The Untangler T906PRO Brush with silky smooth rotating teeth is extremely gentle to Cats and Kittens. Each pin has smooth rounded tips and rotates preventing hair from pulling on the tender skin.
Note: you will likely know by this step whether or not your kitty is going to put up with being brushed or not. Be sure to give them a little extra love after brushing.
2. Remove mats with fine spaced comb. Untangler T516KC
When encountering matted hair, stop to clear the mat. Use a small amount of cornstarch to rub the tight mat or spray with mat remover, then use the Untangler T516Kat Comb to clear the mat. Hold the mat at the skin level and work from the hair tip toward the skin.
Clippers and other shaving devices should only be used if there are no other options. Some cats with extra thick fur will deal with this more regularly than others. It’s also common practice shave mats off, and while the process is fairly straightforward, you must be extra careful not to knick your cat’s skin because it can really hurt them. Brushing your Cat frequently significantly prevents mat formation.
3. Use a fine-tooth comb to further brush your cat’s fur. Untangler T716KC, T735SS or T777PX
Use a fine-tooth comb to clear remaining loose hair and comb the entire body. Untangler 716KC or Untangler T735SS are excellent tools. Some Cat owners prefer using Untangler T777PX with dual spaced extra-long teeth for their cats with extra thick/long hair. The Untangler T777PX is a heavy comb, but the extra-long teeth easily reach deep to the skin to clear loose hair.
4. Final Brushing: Final grooming step is an overall Brushing. Doing a final brushing stimulates natural oils production in your cat’s skin and distributes the oils over their entire coat giving sheen to the coat and extra softness to the touch.
