The coat is the pride of a Burmese cat – beautiful, sleek, and shiny. Owners need to provide daily care to maintain it.

Gentle Massage for Burmese Cats

It’s not necessary to brush your Burmese cat every day. Simply wiping the shiny coat with a piece of felt or chamois is enough. This procedure helps:

• Remove dirt and grease
• Get rid of loose hair and flaky skin
• Stimulate blood circulation
• Improve the appearance of the skin and coat

Using an anti-static spray during this procedure can prevent static electricity in the coat and protect it from negative external factors.

Burmese cats enjoy when their owners care for their coat. A light massage provides pleasant sensations, relieves stress, calms them, and ensures the necessary contact with humans.

When and How to Bathe Burmese Cats Before a Show

Burmese cats should be bathed as needed and always before a show.

Remember: Burmese cats have extremely fine fur. If the wrong washing product is used, the fur will stand on end, making the cat look like a hedgehog. If you’re unsure about the quality of the shampoo, avoid washing the cat the day before the show – do it a week in advance.

To ensure effective washing, follow these tips:

• Burmese cats’ skin is prone to drying out. Use gentle shampoos that clean while providing nourishment.
• Rinse the cat’s fur at least twice to ensure all the soap is washed out.
• Do not rub the cat dry. Wrap it in a large terry towel to keep it warm and cozy.

Accompanying Hygiene

While your pet is in the “cocoon,” take the opportunity to:

• Wipe the eyes with a cotton pad soaked in slightly salted water or chamomile tea.
• Clean the ears gently with a cotton swab to remove any water that may have entered and collect earwax. Be careful not to insert the swab too deeply to avoid injuring the ears.
• Check the mouth for any signs of tooth discoloration, bad breath, or gum inflammation. If you find any issues, consult a veterinarian.
• Trim the cat’s claws as they grow, using a special claw cutter or nail clippers, focusing only on the front paws.

Once your pet is ready, release it from the “cocoon.” Ensure there are no drafts in the room. Finally, brush the cat using a special grooming product to make the fur lay flat, look natural, and shine.
