Even though cats are known as self-groomers, you need to brush their fur to keep it clean, healthy, and matt-free. Cats with long fur need their coats brushed more often than cats with short fur. You must brush your cat’s coat once or twice a day to avoid tangling or mattes if they have long fur. Whereas, a cat with short fur only needs to be brushed once or twice a week since they can easily clean themselves.
When cats get old, they get less flexible, which leads to poor self-grooming. That is when it becomes your duty to take care of their fur by brushing it daily. Brushing can not only untangle their fur, but it also removes dirt, dead hair, grease, and skin flakes! It helps with blood circulation, which keeps your cat’s skin healthy. Here are 6 of the best combs and brushes for your cat that we have tried and evaluated through our testing process.
The best tool for a cat with thick or long fur has to be this one. It has two sides, one side has 9 stainless steel teeth, and the other side has 17 teeth. The side with 9 teeth is used for detangling and removing hard mattes from the fur.
The side with 17 teeth is used for de-shedding and thinning your cat’s coat. De-shedding can make your cat feel light-weighted and at ease. Its teeth are sharp but rounded, so your cat won’t get hurt or irritated. The non-slip handle comes in different colors, making it the best tool for you to use. There is a reason it is our top pick for a cat brush/comb.

Does your cat not let you touch them at all? Is it getting that hard to brush them? A good option would be to get a SELF-GROOMING brush for them.
Simply install it on a wall or in a corner, you can use screws or sticky tape for that but we suggest using screws as they make it easy to take it off to clean or wash it as compared to sticky tape. When your cat grooms itself with this, the tool will remove dirt, and excessive hair, and comb its fur too. It’s easy to hand wash and remove the tool from the wall. Quite a fun option for your cat.
So, these were our top picks for the best brushes and combs that you can use daily on your cat.

Now, this may even mean you need to get more than one type of comb or brush, but as long as your kitty stays healthy and clean that shouldn’t be a problem.
