Brushing a long coat
Published 12 November 2026 · Updated 12 November 2026 · Xavier Hure
A long coat is brushed regularly, with the lie of the hair, starting where the cat offers it. Stop as soon as the cat walks away. Seasonal undercoat is in the other guide. Here, the everyday gesture, with brushes whose sheets describe the size.
Every day
A few minutes, where the cat stays. Then the brush goes away.
