When one is aware of how to care for these kitties and the correct grooming technique then it becomes easier to deal with them. Here, we present to you some of the grooming techniques for a long-haired Siamese cat.
Cats hate bathing with an exception of few. So, if you have a feline that runs away from the water then you can forget about bathing. You need not worry if your cat is rolling in the dust since they are good at taking care of themselves.

But in case of sticky and greasy looking coat, you may need to take your scary little feline in the waters for bathing. Also when the cat is obese then they are not able to groom themselves properly at the back of the body.
In such cases, it is important to bath your kitty for sanitary needs. It would keep the kitty away from any infection and at the same time make them look shiny and healthy.
Every cat enjoys brushing especially when it comes to long-haired Siamese cat. For an owner, this is one of the best ways to bond with the cat and make them feel loved and comfortable.
However, do not go in for a brush that has harsh brittles since it may hurt their skin. Use soft bristles instead since Siamese cats can feel sensitivity on the head and belly. Avoid touching the skin with a comb since you may accidentally cause some damage.
If there is any kind of knot, then it is better to cut it off slowly rather than trying to untangle with a comb. When you comb the hair of your pet, always do so in the direction of its hair growth.
Your feline’s nails are not only bad for itself but also for your furniture and the humans around. Hence, it is a good suggestion to timely trim your pet’s nails.
