Do you need to groom a Snowshoe cat?

Yes, you need to groom a Snowshoe cat, but they’re pretty low maintenance. Their short to medium-length single coat doesn’t require as much grooming as long-haired or double-coated breeds. Brushing with a soft bristle brush or rubber grooming brush about once a week helps keep their fur looking nice, reduces shedding, and prevents the formation of hairballs. Plus, it’s a good way to bond with your cat and keep an eye out for any skin issues.

Additionally, you’ll want to brush their teeth with cat-safe toothpaste at least twice per week and trim their nails every two to three weeks if they aren’t keeping them worn down enough on their own.
