Additionally, all three coats have four unique hair varieties, including down, awn, guard, and vibrissae hairs. Guard hairs are water-resistant, have the most color, and cover the outermost layer of the cat&#8217;s coat, while the lower awn and down layers provide insulation. The difference between these two types comes down to texture. Awn hair is typically coarse, and the thicker down layer is soft. Lastly, vibrissae hairs help felines navigate their surroundings and are only found in whiskers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How often should I groom my cat&#8217;s hair?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately for pet owners, cats have a rough, brush-like tongue that can reach most strands of body hair. While you won&#8217;t need to clean their faces and paws as much as a dog, cat grooming can be a therapeutic experience that&#8217;s beneficial for you and your furry friend. Regardless of how much your specific breed sheds, long-haired cats should be combed every other day if possible. On the other hand, we recommend combing short-haired cats at least once per week. Sticking to a regular grooming schedule will keep your floors free of hair and build trust with your pet at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Look For In our quest to find the best, we looked for critical features, including durability, versatility, and ease of use.
