A) the same as - Incorrect wording and similarity could be better expressed.
B) as well as - Means "and", so let's hold.
C) as for - Tends to be used/mean "concerning"...not used for similarity.
D) the same as if they were - Has the problem A has and the "as if they were" is unnecessary and changes the meaning.
E) as it is for - "It" cannot refer to the phrase "regular grooming and deflating is necessary". "It" can only refer to a noun antecedent, not a noun phrase or a clause.

The use of "as for" would only make sense if we had structured this as a comparison: "Regular grooming is AS NECESSARY for x AS FOR Y." Otherwise, it looks like we are modifying "necessary" and saying that these practices are necessary IN THE SAME WAY for both kinds of cat. But there aren't really multiple variations on *how* to be necessary. Something is either necessary or not, so we don't want that modifier.
