Do you need to groom an Egyptian Mau cat?

Yes, you need to groom an Egyptian Mau cat. Even though Egyptian Mau cats have a short coat, grooming is still beneficial. Weekly brushing helps remove loose hair and reduces shedding. Grooming sessions are also a good opportunity to check for any signs of health issues, such as skin conditions, parasites, or abnormalities. Egyptian Mau cats do not require frequent baths, but occasional baths might be necessary if they get particularly dirty or have a skin issue.

Regular nail trimming is important for your cat’s comfort and health. Long nails can cause discomfort or become snagged, so keep them trimmed as needed. Checking and cleaning their ears occasionally helps prevent ear infections and keeps them in good condition. Brush your cat’s teeth daily to prevent dental issues.
