Video of the nerve-wracking reasons why you shouldn't neglect your Persian cat's coat

If you choose a long-haired breed as your pet, you can't avoid this task.

As an owner of a long-haired cat breed, it is essential that you help your pet care for their fur. Although cats groom themselves constantly, they can encounter problems in their daily routine that make this task extremely difficult. The Persian cat in the video below is experiencing such an ordeal as they desperately try to get rid of the long hairs stuck to their tongue.

Unpleasant consequences

In addition to the above, there are many other serious consequences for the health of your pet if you don't help them groom their coat. For Persian cats, it is particularly important to brush their fur on a daily basis.  This is because they are prone to matting.

Not only is a tangled coat uncomfortable for the animal, but without professional care, it can lead to the development of skin diseases. If the situation is very serious, shearing the entire coat may be necessary.

Get your pet used to brushing and combing from a young age. If you can't manage it, please seek help from a professional pet groomer.
