Persian cat
The Persian’s fine, dense coat needs a daily comb-through. Use a wide-toothed metal comb gently in the direction the hair grows, and check behind the ears and under the front legs, where knots can hide. A tight mat close to the skin calls for help from a groomer or veterinarian.

Maine Coon
The shaggy coat is shorter at the shoulders and longer along the sides, belly, and hind legs. Start with two or three short combing sessions a week. When you check for tangles, feel along the longer hair as well as the back.

Norwegian Forest Cat
Long guard hairs cover a dense undercoat, with a full ruff in cold weather. A weekly comb can be enough for much of the year. Check more frequently in spring as the winter coat sheds, especially if your cat has a softer coat.

Siberian cat
Siberians have a layered coat that varies in texture from cat to cat. Feel the underside, tail, and long fur on the back of the legs several times a week. Some Siberians need a weekly comb to stay free of mats, so let those checks guide you.

Ragdoll
The soft coat lacks the thick undercoat found in some longhaired cats. Combing once or twice a week is a starting point for picking up loose hairs and small tangles. When the seasons change, check the coat more often as shedding picks up.

Birman
The Birman’s silky coat has no dense undercoat to trap loose hair. A weekly comb is often enough. Feel through the full neck ruff as well as the back, where loose hair is easier to see.

Somali cat
The Somali’s longest fur is on the plumed tail, and the ruff and backs of the legs are fuller, too. A weekly comb helps remove loose hair. Some coats get oily and clump at the base of the tail or along the spine, so keep an eye on those areas.

Turkish Angora
The fine, silky single coat is less likely to mat than a dense undercoat. In a younger adult, a comb a few times a month may be enough to collect loose hair. Check an older Angora more often in case it needs more help keeping its coat clear.

Balinese cat
The Balinese has a single coat without a downy layer underneath, even though the tail carries a noticeable plume. A light comb several times a month is often enough for shedding. Make the routine more frequent if the coat starts holding loose hair.

Turkish Van
A Turkish Van can look almost shorthaired in summer and grow a much longer coat for winter. It has no undercoat to tangle. A weekly comb may be enough in the warm months, with more attention as the heavier coat grows in.

LaPerm
In the longhaired variety, the neck ruff and plume of the tail make the waves or ringlets easy to see. The curls tend to hold loose hair, so comb the coat regularly with rotating teeth to release it gently. The throat and the bases of the ears can have especially tight curls.

Selkirk Rex
The longhaired Selkirk Rex has substantial curls, and gentle combing once or twice a month is a starting point for removing dead hair. Keep an eye out for large clumps of curls and separate them gently. If the coat mats, get grooming advice before pulling at it.
