BASIC CARE: HIGH-STATIC FUR
« Back to Index

Static can be so troublesome in the fall and winter months of the year. Here are some handy suggestions for eliminating static cling in fur.

Before touching the cat, soak your hands in normal handcream.
Avoid plastic brushes or combs as well as wire slicker brushes. Instead, use metal and teflon coated.
During grooming, lay a wet paper towel on the fur.
By an anti-static spritz (sold in pet stores).
Lightly rub down the coat with a fragrance-free dryer sheet.
