Giving Persian Cat Baths and Combing

Purrinlot recommends that Persian cat baths be given monthly, or weekly for show cats. This combined with regular combing will help your Persian cat grow longer, fluffier fur. Combing of the ruff, underarms, and the spot behind the ears should be done daily. However, a complete combing is only necessary weekly. Failure to do regular Persian cat baths and combings will result in your cat having greasy hair, though it may not be readily apparent at first glance.

Before you give a Persian cat bath, you should always comb out any knots you find in the cat's fur and de-grease the cat's fur. Purrinlot recommends Goop for cat de-greasing. Goop is applied to all of the Persian cat's fur, except for the face. You then place your Persian cat in the sink (where you have good control over your cat) and use warm water to rinse the goop off.

There are a few things to keep in mind when shampooing your Persian cat. First, the shampoo you choose for your Persian cat baths should be appropriately matched to the color of your Persian cat's fur. Second, gently lather the shampoo with water as you pour it on the cat. Finally, it is critical that you thoroughly rinse the shampoo out of the cat's fur.
