Approaching Your Cat For A Grooming Session



When a decision has been made to submit your cat to a grooming session, the first step is to decide which pet groomer will better suit your needs. Among the great number of pet groomers in the trade, few of them dedicate their efforts towards cat grooming. For cat owners, it is imperative that they ask questions, and make sure they are taking their cat somewhere with the proper facilities and experience. As you may or may not know, cats don’t like water, they make it extra difficult for the groomer to do their job. Groomers also put themselves in danger of being bitten or scratched. Selecting the proper groomer is especially helpful when you want your cat to be handled properly. The cat will resist in every case, but is the groomer is not properly trained he may end up hurting the cat by using unnecessary force.

Grooming a feline can prove to be a difficult task, which requires training and experience, and not everyone may be up for the job. Many groomers who work with dogs refuse to work with cats, in order to prevent harm to themselves or the animal. Grooming a cat is a constant power struggle between the cat and the water you wish to soak him in. Water is unpleasant for cats to say the least. An experienced cat groomer will have the talent and ability to calm down the animal and ease the stress produced by the entire experience.

A good groomer will have had some training with felines. He will have developed some skills to put the animal at ease whenever he comes in contact with water. He will also have all the necessary tools around for the job and know how to use them.

One of the more complicated task in grooming a cat is removing the mats and huge hair knots on the cat’s coat. Some breeds of cats, such as Persians and Blue Hairs are quite famous for the size of the hair knots they develop, tight against the skin. Professional groomers need to find a way to cut off these mats long enough so they are still able to be brushed, without recurring to the shaver for a skin close shave. Shaving a long haired cat entirely leaves him subject to infections and disease, which may result in high medical expenses.

Finding a cat groomer you can trust is no pet game. Sometimes the pet owner will find himself having to drive long distances in order to take their pet to the most suitable groomer. It may also be necessary to leave the animal overnight in order to take care of him properly. When receiving your cat, make sure to inspect the animal well. Run your hand through his skin and look for any painful reactions. The cat should be free of burns, close shaves, and hair knots. If you are happy with the job, it is a custom to reward the groomer with a fifteen percent tip as a token of your appreciation.
