The Siberian cat is a rather large animal with powerful muscles. This body structure makes it an excellent hunter of mice and rats. Many cat lovers choose animals of this breed as pets. It is necessary to take care of the Siberian cat correctly.
Instructions
Step 1
The Siberian cat's wool requires special care. Regular brushing of the animal helps to remove dead skin flakes and hairs from its skin, and also perfectly stimulates blood circulation.
Step 2
It is recommended to comb the Siberian cat almost from the very first days of its life. So do not postpone this procedure until later. Brush your little fluffy kitten every day. The kid will quickly get used to your gentle hands, as well as various brushes and combs.
Step 3
If your Siberian kitten perceives brushing as a game, trying to grab the brush with his teeth, calm down the mischievous person and continue brushing his fur.
Step 4
Daily brushing of the animal can prevent the formation of tangles. With improper care of a Siberian cat, wool can accumulate in its stomach. And this can lead to a clogged stomach and even death.
Step 5
Start combing the long hair of the Siberian cat with a metal comb with wide teeth. Then, use a comb with more frequent teeth. Finish brushing the animal with a fine-toothed comb.
Step 6
You will need a brush to brush the tail of a Siberian cat. You can remove the undercoat during shedding with a slicker.
Step 7
Only brush the Siberian cat in the direction of its fur growth. At the end of the procedure, slightly lift the coat with a brush.
Step 8
If you find tangles on your pet, carefully disassemble them with both hands, without tearing the animal's fur. In especially advanced cases, you can use scissors, although shearing tangles significantly spoils the appearance of the Siberian cat.
Step 9
Do not use artificial bristle brushes for brushing Siberian cats. They contribute to the generation of static electricity, which causes the coat to break.
