Do you need to groom a Manx cat?

Yes, you need to groom a Manx cat to maintain their health and quality of life. Brushing two to three times per week will help manage shedding and keep their fur and skin in good condition. A slicker brush or a grooming comb with fine teeth works well for this purpose. These tools help to untangle any knots and catch loose fur effectively. 

In addition to coat grooming, dental care is also important. Regular brushing of your Manx cat’s teeth helps prevent dental issues such as plaque buildup and gum disease. Using a cat-specific toothbrush and toothpaste can make this task easier and more effective.

You may also need to trim their nails once every couple of weeks if they aren’t effectively wearing them down on their own with scratching posts. If your Manx kitty’s claws have a hooked shape to them, it’s time for a trim.
