Cats require grooming much like humans do. In this article we’ll show you how to give your cat a spa day to groom and pamper your furry friend. Make grooming enjoyable and turn it into a cat spa experience, where you do the beauty services, to treat your cat. You can make a space with a scratching post and a grooming area so that your pet can pamper herself in addition to the attention you offer her.
Full Body Massage
Give your cat the best spa day ever with a long massage session. Nothing soothes the mind and body more than a soothing massage, as we are all aware, and your cat will likely feel the same way. You already know that petting your cat is a great way for you both to unwind and connect, so look into methods for massaging your cat so that you may both feel even more pampered and at ease.
Luckily we’ve already created an ultimate guide to giving your cat a massage.
Brushing
The easiest kind of pampering is usually regular brushing, which is also beneficial for your cat. Use a soft brush, pet comb, or slicker brush every day to remove dead hair and filth, boost blood flow, and stimulate circulation in order to keep your cat’s hair shiny and mat-free. If your cat isn’t accustomed to being brushed, begin slowly but persistently; eventually, she’ll slobber with excitement whenever she sees you with a brush in your hand.
Facial
Although it’s not a traditional facial, keeping your cat’s eyes and ears clean is vital for overall health. Cats frequently get eye discharge, which is readily cleared with a soft wipe of moist cotton wool. The visible outer area of your cat’s ears can be very carefully cleaned with a cotton ball or bud if there is a buildup of wax. Never insert the bud into your cat’s ear canal since you risk damaging it. The best course of action is to have your cat checked out by your neighborhood vet if you see any foul-smelling discharge coming from her eyes or ears. This could be an indication of an infection.
Baths
It’s a fact that most cats will flee at the first sign of moisture, so not everyone will appreciate this amount of care. Some cat breeds, like the beautiful Sphynx cat, like playing in the water. If your cat has long hair or is hairless, however, bathing may be necessary. If your cat enjoys getting a bath, make sure you just use lukewarm water, a gentle pet shampoo, and a soft towel to dry her.
Pedicure
If your cat lives indoors, even if she frequently uses her scratching post, you will need to cut her claws. Outdoor cats typically manage to maintain their claws properly clipped by wandering around on uneven surfaces. When your cat is enthusiastically kneading, neatly trimmed claws will prevent pulled threads from appearing on your furniture and clothing. They will also make your cat much more comfortable because she won’t snag and split her priceless claws on the carpet.
Cat Spas
A cat spa activity center is ideal for those times when you’re not at home and your cat needs a nice pampering. They come in all different sizes and shapes, and frequently feature acupressure pads for the perfect paw rubs, gum stimulators, and textured rubber surfaces for your cat to roll about on for some self-massage.
