#10 The wool of American Curls does not fall off and almost does not get tangled, so a simple combing with a fine comb and a stimulating massage with a natural bristle brush is enough for it.
Both short-haired and semi-long-haired individuals are combed using the same set of tools, but with different frequencies. In particular, the “fur coats” of short-haired curls are recommended to be worked with a comb once every 7-10 days, for long-haired curls - twice a week. American curls shed seasonally and during such periods it is better to increase the number of combing: it is useful for the pet, and there is less wool in the apartment. Sometimes a slicker is used to remove a dead undercoat, which is insignificant in the breed.
#11 It is better not to abuse bathing: two or three times a year will be enough for an American Curl.
They wash the purr with goo shampoo, which is better to pick up with a cat cosmetics consultant. It is advisable to use a conditioner to give the coat a pleasant shine and ease of combing. Dry short-haired curls with a cotton towel, long-haired curls with a hairdryer. In between bathing, kotofey can arrange dry cleaning, for which it is worth buying powder and powder shampoos.
#12 It is also necessary to clean the ears of American Curls, but due to the unusual structure of the ear funnels, this should be done with extreme caution.
The ear cartilage in kitties is dense and easily breaks if you press hard on it. Usually, the ears of American Curls do not give off much of a dry, dark coating, which is recommended to be cleaned once a month. The eyes are best examined daily. Representatives of this breed do not suffer from excessive lacrimation, but the paths and lumps in the corners of the eyelids, of course, do not decorate the animal. So wipe the corners of the curl's eyes with a damp cloth in the morning.
