Cat Grooming Tips

Video Transcript

"Hi, I am Carolyn and I am going to show you how to cut your cat down some without using the clippers. And you are going to like comb it back and you don’t have to have a groomer scissors, but you want scissors that will cut hair because otherwise it will cross over and the crosses over like that is going to pull the skin up in there. But I use sewing scissors; big old scissors my first year when I was nineteen because I was afraid that I would cut him, but when you go slow it really just as long as you know what you are doing and watch, see the hair there you can see through it there. You start off at the rear and say we are going to cut her. She is been cut down before so we are going to cut her down about, may be a half an inch. You made that line there, then you want to hold her up and anytime you are anywhere on them, that skin stripe then I have to look this way to get that hair. And look this way to get that hair off, this way and then and you can do with the scissors instead of the comb. It is going to look real jagged and choppy for about a week until and even if you have it done at the groomers if you leave an inch, just something about cat hair until they take care of it. They will lick it and they do something that makes it look okay in about a week. So you want to do the body first; the body each part is divided up. We got the body and you have to turn her around and only what you can see. Like I can see the table through what I am cutting here. And I would never just head on like that. I mean you don’t know that… you would on your own animal, but that they do not have a tumor, or growth or a wart you know, so you have to be able to see through this. "
