Grooming
-
The daily combing
DailyThe tool of record is a stainless steel comb, worked through both sides while she rotates herself like a rotisserie. The long coat depends on it: it prevents mats and sustains the glamour.
-
Face touch-ups
As neededPet wipes for the eyes and face, kept within reach for whenever the look needs refreshing.
-
Spot cleaning
As neededYEGBONG Pet Dry Cleaning Mousse (waterless), worked into the fur and brushed through, mainly under the chin and any spots that dared get dirty.
-
Bathing
RarelyRarely required; the daily combing does the heavy lifting. An occasional bath or a professional spa day, by appointment.
-
Nails
Every 2–4 weeksA manicure every 2–4 weeks with cat clippers: front paws first, back paws as she permits. Best conducted while she is drowsy and least inclined to file a complaint.
-
Teeth
DailyA daily brush with Histo Tree cat-safe dental gel (beef flavour), worked along the gumline a few seconds a side. Tolerated, barely, in exchange for the treat that follows.
