Grooming your Ragdoll cat is a good routine that is best started early on, preferably when your cat is a kitten. If done daily, the experience is quick and less stressful on you and your feline friend! Comb your cats coat daily. The size of the comb or brush depends on the coat of your cat. You want the comb to glide through the coat easily without pulling (ouch!). I use a regular tooth-size comb for the ruff, armpit areas and behind. Make sure you brush the hair in sections, brushing gently to the roots rather than just brushing the surface. While you are brushing your cat, look for mats of hair, but don't pull. The coat of any long-haired cat rarely mats if combed & bathed regularly.
