Although cats spend a lot of time grooming themselves, they still benefit from the additional grooming you can do for them. Your grooming can help keep your cat looking good, reduce shedding, create an opportunity for bonding, and give you a chance to detect any physical problems, such as fleas, ticks or tumors.
