The best cat shampoo for a healthy coat

PawTracks Contributor
By

Just as there are many types of shampoos for people, there are also different shampoo types for your feline. Some shampoos have formulas that concentrate on cleaning your cat’s fur thoroughly. Others may target fleas if your cat is full of them. There are even shampoos for cats that suffer from dandruff. There are plenty of choices for you, and it can get overwhelming. Thankfully, this list of the best makes it easy to find what you are looking for.

Most cats will only need a bath every once in a while as they do a good job bathing themselves. But there are some exceptions to this. If you have a hairless cat, you need to make sure that it is bathed once a week. If it has fleas, got sprayed by a skunk, or is unable to groom itself due to medical reasons, then giving it a bath more often would be necessary.

The shampoo is meant to be used solely on your cat’s fur and skin and will combat any skin irritation and dry patches. It is soap-free and will promote your cat’s skin to heal.

Making the lives of pets and owners better: This smart cat feeder has a camera
PETLIBRO Granary automatic cat feeder with cat nearby

It makes perfect sense to keep an eye on our furry companions to better understand them. For example, if they’re not drinking water or eating their food, it could be a sign that something bad is going on with their health, outside of being picky. The problem, however, is that most of us lead busy lives, and we can’t always be home or right there to watch – spot, fido, or whiskers surely get the run of the house as a benefit. But thanks to smart technology, we can keep an eye on our pets, even remotely. Cue PETLIBRO’s automatic feeder with a built-in camera called the Granary Camera Feeder. It has a 1080p HD webcam and can capture or record your pets eating in real-time so that you can check in and better understand their health. If their eating habits or behaviors change, you’ll know right away.

The HD camera has a 145-degree wide-angle lens, which gives you a wider perspective, allowing you to see more of your pet’s feeding status and the surroundings. Moreover, it has night vision support, so even if the lights are off in your home or it’s dark, you can still see what your best friend is doing. Of course, there’s a lot more to it, but as far as automatic cat feeders go, this thing will make your life – and your pet’s life – much better. Let’s paw in.

Video: We’ve seen some weird cat sleeping spots, but this feline’s is the strangest
Ever wondered why cats sleep in strange positions? We have the answer
Cat curled up in a ball while sleeping in grass

Cats sleep in the weirdest positions — this fundamental fact of feline life takes over the internet on a regular basis. We've seen kitties in boxes, baby bouncers, and sinks, but we may have found the new best cat-napping spot. Ever spotted a cat sleeping inside a pot? You're in for a treat with this viral video.

sephera._ posted this hilarious recounting titled "Orange cat behavior," and it went well beyond the hilarity of the usual antics we see from mousers. It opens with an orange kitty sitting in a pot on a counter in the kitchen. But that's just the beginning. We get to see him try out just about every cat sleeping position while staying inside his snug hidey hole. The text says, "When your cat's favorite spot is inside a pot," and takes us through the favored resting contortions, including curled up with his head poking out, squished all the way in, and with head in and butt up. It doesn't look particularly comfy to us, but we don't have this cat's flexibility.
