Happy Wednesday, fur friends.
Let's chat.
Whenever people find out that I groom cats, their immediate response is, 🫨 "What do you do with cats?" So let's talk about it.
First, I snuggle them because I love them so very much! 😻
Second, we offer a wide range of grooming options from just a nail trim to full-blown haircuts.
Cats need nail trimming, baths, brush outs, sanitary trims, and, yes, they can also need hair cuts.
The main reason I advise people to groom their cats and to start as young as possible is because lord willing that cat will live a long time and they will inevitably slow down, especially on their own groomimg. There is nothing worse than introducing a 15 year old cat to water or a brush for the first time. 🫣
Short haired cats need brushing and nail clippings. That helps cut down on the amount of hair in your home and in their throats. Bathing can also help reach the spots they can not, help release their undercoat, and make them smell less like the tuna tongue they use to clean themselves. Nails trimming is good for everyone. 😊
Medium to long-haired cats definitely need assistance with brushing. They aren't just cleaning themselves. They are also brushing their hair, and it can be a lot of work and can greatly increase the amount of hairballs they get and the number of times you're running into a room to find the gagging cat. Again, nail trimming is for everyone. 💅
Longer haired cats often also require sanitary trims to help get keep clean and free from matting.
Matting. Matting is the number one thing you want to avoid with a long-haired cat. Especially in their sanitary areas. Cats have paper thin skin, which makes de-matting very dangerous. Matting is also painful as often times it is pulling at their skin and it will eventually tear away. 😔
The thought of grooming cats who we have been told historically hate it can definitely make one leary, but I'm here to tell you the benefits absolutely outweigh anything we've been told.
As always, feel free to reach out to discuss your cats needs anytime. 803-749-5901
