We
have one groomer at our salon who specializes in cat grooming.
She is very confident in handling and grooming cats.
Cats are very
different from dogs when it comes to grooming. They stress more
easily than dogs and also tend to have more varied behavior -
one day they may be very tolerant of grooming and another day,
very intolerant! Since cats generally groom themselves, they often
don't require a grooming appointment until they are adults; however,
we recommend starting them as kittens, getting them bathed and
used to being handled. Adult cats who are not used to being bathed,
dried, and / or clipped are generally very apprehensive and not
afraid to defend themselves. Many groomers do not groom cats because
they are more difficult to groom. Additionally, their skin is
much more susceptible to accidental nicks and cuts. Excessive
matting adds to the risk of injury. And a bite from a cat is much
more serious than a bite from a dog.
What kind
of hair cut can a cat get? If your cat is getting matted on his
belly or rear, our groomer may be able to shave those areas short
and leave the rest long. If your cat is matted all over, your
cat will probably need to be shaved short. Your cat could get
a "Lion Trim" with a mane and a poof on the tail, or
just a short all over with his head and tail blended into his
body. Cats hair usually doesn't look good in middle-length hair
cuts.
