Cats always know when it is time to eat and will pester their owners relentlessly for their specially prepared fish and rice. Although cats are considered very clean animals, they still need to be groomed by their owners. Cats can be bathed in warm soapy water once a week in order to keep their fur shiny and bug-free. Once dry, the cat’s fur can then be brushed with a metal pet brush to remove tangles. Most cats will try to escape having a bath but totally enjoy the brushing they receive afterwards!
