Himalayan Cat Facts
By 
Himalayans can boast having shorter, close lying coats which are lower maintenance on the grooming front than longer haired Himalayans. A weekly brush and wipe over with a chamois leather is all it takes to keep their coats in good condition with a nice sheen on it. Longhaired cats need to be brushed more often to prevent knots and tangles from forming in their coats and like other breeds, they tend to shed the most in the Spring and then again in the Autumn when more frequent brushing is usually necessary to keep on top of things.
It’s also important to check a cat’s ears on a regular basis and to clean them when necessary. If too much wax builds up in a cat’s ears, it can lead to a painful infection which can be hard to clear up. In short, prevention is often easier than cure with ear infections. Cats often suffer from ear mites which can be a real problem which is another reason why it’s so important to check their ears every week or so.
