Brushing your cat gently
Published 2026-11-10 · Xavier Hure
Brushing keeps hair off the sofa and becomes a quiet moment when the cat enjoys a hand.
Use the brush on a coat that is already smooth. For the skin, a veterinarian is the right person.
Kitten
A soft brush, a few minutes, to get used to a hand.
Senior cat
Slow strokes, on a cushion, without pulling.
