Grooming
Regular brushing - daily or at least three times a week is required for long-haired cats. Some Maine Coons are great at staying clean on their own and those are the ones who spew hair balls on a regular basis. Other cats need a monthly bath which can be a challenge. A professional cat groomer is a well worth the expense. If you choose to bring a long haired cat into your home there will be hair - everywhere. Keeping your house free of cat hair is not realistic if you have long haired cats. Please do not use Dawn or any other non-pet shampoo on your pets as they can be toxic. Keep your cats nails trimmed but not too much - if you cause bleeding you are causing pain. Please feel free to contact Kokuakats for grooming tips.
