Ivan's story

Ivan was happily adopted in April 2023.

Ivan showed up on the evening of February 2. He immediately answered to me when I heard the meow. Didn't really care Bati was with me, he wanted cuddles and I could carry him in my arms right there.

That evening I removed him from the streets where he might have been abandoned and decided to launch the process to find him a forever home. All happened in record timing. Now he is living with his mate in Germany.

The Royal Grooming
Read the story

His Majesty spends hours every day grooming himself. So why on earth should you brush him?

Because every lick swallows loose hair. And what goes in… comes back up. Usually on your favourite rug. At three in the morning.

Brushing removes that hair before it's swallowed. Fewer hairballs.

It also prevents mats: tight knots that pull on the skin and can really hurt. Long-haired cats are the most at risk.

Some cats need your help even more. Older cats, overweight cats and cats with stiff joints often can't reach everywhere.

And brushing is a free health check. You'll spot lumps, fleas, scabs or sore spots early.

How often? Long-haired cats: every day. Short-haired cats: about once a week.

Keep it short and sweet. Brush in the direction of the fur, start where your cat loves being stroked, and stop before they've had enough. Treats help. A lot.

Found a mat? Never cut it out with scissors. A cat's skin is thin and easy to cut. Ask your vet or a professional groomer.

And if your cat still brings up hairballs often, or coughs without bringing anything up, see your vet.

His Majesty is now glossy, fluffy and hairball-free. The rug is safe. For now.
