When it comes to grooming a British Shorthair, there are some useful tips to bear in mind. Firstly, your cat should be combed every day with a specially designed cat brush to maintain their usually thick coat. Be extra thorough around the chest, stomach and rear areas; these prone regions can easily become matted if left unattended to. Secondly, when bathing your British Shorthair, it is important that a gentle shampoo is used – preferably one specifically developed for cats – as their fur and skin may be more sensitive than other cats.
Finally, regular nail trimming is also necessary and should not be neglected between grooming sessions, as fully-grown claws can do serious damage if left too long. As long as these quick and simple steps are followed regularly, your feline will remain clean and groomed for years to come.
