When any of my cats get dandruff, I often brush their hair and comb it. I generally remove a lot of hair which helps control their dandruff. I will bathe the cat if that cat tolerates having a bath. If my cat has not been cleaned in four months, I will not wash them. It is too dangerous to give an older cat a tub for the first time as you may get clawed up by a cat that does not like a thing to do with water.
It is also good to stimulate the hair follicles on your cat to help control dandruff. I have noticed that the more I comb my cat’s hair, the less dandruff he has. When I show him his comb, my cat Kohl comes to me to be combed out. Kohl’s comb is bright red. I started combing out Kohl’s hair when he was very young.
I gave Kohl a waterless bath yesterday. The dry shampoo smelled like pine needles. I applied the dry shampoo to some Bounty paper towels and rubbed it all over his hair. When I was finished, Kohl’s hair was bright and shiny. I could no longer see any trace of dandruff in his hair. Kohl got combed out and got his waterless shampoo bath for the perfect-looking shiny black hair.
My cat Cali loves to have her hair combed, and so does Russ. I show them their comb and brush, and they are very tolerant of combing or brushing their hair.
Start combing out your cat’s hair at a young age, and they will look forward to having their hair worked on. Your cat will have the best-looking coat of hair that is shiny and dandruff free.
