Is the Selkirk curly cat easy to raise? Although the cat itself is very cute, if you want a beautiful and elegant cat, you still need to take care of it seriously. Today I will bring you some maintenance knowledge.

The most important thing that Selkirk Rex cats need to pay attention to is lacrimal gland and kidney problems. Regardless of whether they have long or short hair, owners need to brush their Selkirk Rex cats regularly to keep their curls tidy. Most Selkirk Rex cats have oily skin and require frequent bathing. Similar to the British shorthair cat, it is also a large and heavy-framed breed with strong limbs and a thick and straight body. Daily care is essential!

In the wild animal world, long-haired cats always moult only in winter, but domestic cats moult throughout the year because they are kept in a bright and warm environment all year round. Therefore, Selkirk curly cats need to be groomed and coated twice a day for 15 to 30 minutes each time. Otherwise the hair will get tangled. If tangled hairballs are left untreated, your cat will be in severe pain, and you'll have to call your veterinarian to give your cat an anesthetic and shave the tangled hair. Not only will the cat suffer, but you will also lose money!

Before you start grooming your cat, you can take this opportunity to check the cat's eyes, ears, mouth, and claws to see if they are clean and if there are any symptoms of disease. You'll need a fine-toothed comb, a wire-bristle cat brush, and a toothbrush. You'll also need blunt-edged scissors to cut through tangled fur and any laurel that gets into the fur. Oil accelerator (for dark cats) and talcum powder (for light cats). Cats participating in exhibitions also need a grooming brush for brushing their tails.
