Cat Grooming Services And Tips

By Nestor Chiasson


Grooming a feline is not easy, and only a handful are persistent enough to do the job. Several top dog groomers won't even allow cat grooming because of the possibility of harming themselves as well as the animal. A large number of cats despise water, and bathing can be a life and death situation for them. As a result, they become threatened and will react with hostility. A seasoned pet groomer should be able to calm the cat and give protection to both of them while doing so.

Pet grooming techniques are designed to keep the animal safe and give it confidence in the person doing the bathing. A good cat groomer will use the necessary gloves and other equipment to make bathing a more pleasant experience for the feline.

The most difficult job for the pet groomer is to cut mats off long haired cats. Breeds such as Persians and Blue Hairs are notorious for having big mats that are several inches in diameter and are tightly packed against the skin. Grooming these types of animals needs to be particularly thorough. Having no hair for these types of cats opens them up for infection and disease. Serious skin infections can result, which is costly in both time and money. As with other animals having the hair shaved off completely and living in an outside environment, it can lead to deadly skin diseases.

Choosing a cat groomer is important for the owner. In distant places, a pet grooming professional might not be available. The cat owner has to be willing to transport the cat to the nearest groomer, leave them for a night and pay visit the following day. Prior to leaving the feline, check it and ensure that you find no severe injuries or cuts. Run your fingers over the cat's fur in order that all mats are removed correctly.

Once satisfied with the pet grooming service, tip the groomer as a sign of appreciation. To make certain that you don't go back in a short time, you should brush your cat everyday and cut the ugly mats as they show up.
