The best short hair cat brush for short hair is a high-quality one made of brass or steel. Look for one that has thick, sturdy bristles for maximum softness and comfort for your precious pet. There are many different brush types which are specially designed for various cat breeds. Look for one made from sturdy material that can last. Remember that when buying a de-shedding brush, the bristles should be made from a hard plastic and not a soft plastic, as soft bristles will often cause excessive shedding.

Make sure you clean the cat brush between brushes so there are no tangles. It is not a good idea to try to clean the hair by hand, especially if your cat is shedding a lot. If you use a regular brush, you will just spread the cat hair all over the brush. If this happens, you won't have anywhere to put the hair after cleaning it may even get into some of your other cat bedding. Using a quality short hair cat brush is much easier to clean than a regular one. Regular brushes get all the hair up and down the cat brush shaft, while the quality ones just get the shaft clean.

The best brush for short hair cats is the self cleaning slicker brush. These types of brushes will remove hair without getting into your cat's skin and also they are much easier to use than regular brushes. This is why more people are choosing the self cleaning slicker brush when caring for their pets.

You must make sure that your cat's regular brushing with the short hair brush is done on a regular basis. Like with long hair, too much brushing can lead to matting of the fur. With the matting, the short hair brush will be useless because it won't be able to remove the dead hair and then the mats can start building up in clumps. And this is exactly what your vet wants to avoid.

So, the best way to brush the cat is to do it daily using the gentle firm pressure from the handle of the brush. Also you have to take note that there is a difference between harsh grooming and gentle grooming. When doing harsh brushing you will be breaking the hairs and along with that you will be applying quite a lot of force while doing so. But when doing it gently, the gentle pressure will help to break loose hair that is clump together.

So, it is important that when you are purchasing cat brushes or any other grooming tools for your cats you need to go for the ones with the softest bristles. The softer the bristles, the less likely it will be to irritate the skin of your cat. If the irritation occurs, it can lead to infections and the cat may die. So, check out the length of the bristles before you buy them. Ideally you would want to get ones that have a minimum of 0.7 mm.

If you can afford a better comb that has more hair, you can always get a set that comes with a comb attachment. The most ideal comb to use is one that has a wide tooth comb so that it can comb the hair from the root of the hair all the way up to the tips of the hairs. This way the hair is evenly brushed. If you don't have a wide tooth comb, then you can use the individual comb parts instead for your cat's hair.
