I get a lot of comments saying cats “look scared” in some of my grooming photos, but cats don’t really do facial expressions like people or dogs do. A relaxed cat can still look grumpy or serious in a photo, especially when it’s just a quick snapshot, and especially Maine c***s, they’re known for their resting bitch face.
What photos don’t show is the purring, head butts, smooches, leaning into pats and all the little things they do when they’re actually enjoying themselves.
A lot of cats actually really enjoy the one on one attention during their groom. For 60-90 minutes they’ve got someone brushing them, patting them, talking to them and focusing completely on them. Honestly where else do most cats get that much undivided attention? 😂
Does every cat love every single second of grooming? Of course not, cats are dramatic little creatures sometimes 😂 but this gorgeous boy was absolutely loving the attention after his groom.
