Do you need to groom a Colorpoint Shorthair cat?

Yes, you do need to groom a Colorpoint Shorthair cat. While they don’t require intensive grooming like most long-haired breeds, brushing them once a week with a soft bristle brush or rubber grooming mitt can help remove loose hairs and reduce shedding. This light brushing also keeps their coat shiny and healthy.

 Aside from brushing, it’s good to check their ears regularly for cleanliness, brush their teeth with cat-safe toothpaste to prevent periodontal disease, and trim their nails every few weeks to keep them comfortable.
