The cat frequently licks its body, its coat, its paws, in fact, it recovers vitamin D present everywhere on its body. It erases the smell that a person or an animal can leave on it by touching or stroking it.
Grooming the cat naturally: From head to tail, always starting with the head first, it gets rid of its external parasites. It also allows it to cool off in the summer. Pulling on its hair releases a substance from its glands that waterproofs its fur. Nature is really well made, isn’t it?
Warning ! A cat that no longer grooms itself is a bad sign. You may suspect a health problem, especially if he loses a lot of hair or if his dress dulls over the days. See your vet promptly in these cases. A beneficial dietary change or specific treatment may resolve these disorders.
2. Choose diatomaceous earth, a natural external and internal dewormer
The cat needs to clean itself regularly because it licks itself and swallows its many hairs while washing. In order to help him eliminate hairballs in his body, you can turn to natural products safe for the animal like garlic, thyme, clay, catnip and the famous and popular diatomaceous earth.
Instructions for use : Deworm your indoor cat at least twice a year or your outdoor cat every quarter. True antiparasitic hated by fleas, ticks, lice, mites or worms, Diatomaceous Earth is a great treatment for your cat’s coat. To benefit from it, the latter must not present any particular health problems such as breathing difficulties or atypical itching.
In addition, the diatom powder can be administered in water or fresh food (homemade or pâtés) to eradicate all internal parasites, to do once a day for a week and to renew if necessary. This food supplement provides your cat with good vitality, top immune defenses, strong bones and a shiny coat.
Finally, a complete and balanced diet enriched in fiber helps to easily clean the intestinal walls. Think about it when you cook them good meals. Thus, you limit his vomiting and avoid many inconveniences such as stomach pain or difficult digestion.
3. Perform a gentle and regular brushing
The maintenance of your cat’s hair is especially necessary for avoid the formation of knots or hairballs which he can ingest by licking himself every day, which will cause digestive problems and vomiting as we have just seen. A feline doesn’t really need shampoo, however, you may need it exceptionally.
Manual : Paint your cat in the direction of the hair (but really !). Use a soft brush for delicate areas like the top of the legs, stomach, ears or chin. Then brush against the direction of hair growth to remove dead skin or falling hairs.
4. Take care of your cat’s claws and pads
After the body and the coat, it is necessary to look at the paws, in particular the claws and the sensitive pads of the cat.
Pad care: Tan the animal’s paws with a tannic acid helps prevent skin infections. It is important to strengthen the pads that are constantly stressed and exposed to external aggressions (rough surfaces or hot soil for example). Also, the master can dry the paws of his companion well between the fingers after a walk or an outing in the rain.
Claw care: it is far from being a piece of fun, neither for the owner, nor for the cat, but it is necessary for his well-being! Cut the animal’s nails using a suitable nail cutter. If you’re having too much trouble, ask your vet to do it. First of all, immobilize your cat and reassure him in your own way. Get the tips of its claws out one by one. Be careful not to cut the pink part which contains very small blood vessels. Trim only the tips too long or pointed. Consider investing in a scratching post, a cat tree or a scratching post, perfect accessories to file and naturally wear down your claws.
5. Clean her beautiful eyes
We go back very slowly to the pretty face of your cat. It’s time to gently cleanse the impurities stuck around or inside the eyes to avoid possible discharge, redness or conjunctivitis. If they live with other pets in your household, they may each wash their eyes.
Eye care: The eye being a rather fragile organ, it is better to proceed without insisting and to use a sterile compress soaked in lukewarm water or a physiological serum, as for an infant. Apply a simple gesture from the inside to the outside of the eyes to clear them, remove bacteria and leave the corner of the eye clean.
6. Watch your teeth and ears
The hygiene of a cat’s ears and teeth is essential, especially since negligence at this level can lead to complications or an intervention at the veterinarian. Tartar sets in and the buildup of earwax affects hearing. It is advisable to examine your cat’s teeth and the condition of his ears and only occasionally clean them.
Teeth care: You should know that the kibble consumption or dry food helps fight plaque and maintain healthy gums. In case of yellow canines or bad breath, use a cat toothbrush, finger cot and toothpaste. Consult your veterinarian if you observe any suspicious spots or a gum infection.
Ear care: It is right to do not clean them systematically so as not to weaken their natural protective barrier, at the risk of triggering chronic ear infections. Exit the cotton swab which will only worsen the situation by bringing the dirt to the bottom of the ear canal. Instead, make a cotton wick to lightly dampen in apple cider vinegar and lukewarm water. Gently and calmly wipe the inside of his ear without wringing the cotton inside. You can also choose organic ear products recommended by your pharmacist or veterinarian.
7. Provide clean and fresh litter
By nature, the cat is clean and likes to stay that way. You will notice that it was not difficult to teach him to be clean and to defecate in a litter box.
