Cat Grooming Tips

"And then, you can if you want to take off hair. Do it with scissors and you wouldn’t have to buy the clippers and I will say that they are going to look horrible about the first week or two even if it is done by the best of cat groomer’s. It is just something about their hair and especially if they aren’t clean and the cats take care of it. I do not know what they do. They lick it and it looks all smooth in a week or two. But this hair you want to be able to see, you mark it off here at the rear; that is your stop line. Then under here and be sure that you have just taken off the little fuzzies so that you can see the table through and you make you like a dip there and then you are going to come down here. You don’t have to comb this; you can do this and it will do just as good. So I can see through that hair and I can see through that and I can see through that and I can come down to that dip I made right there and you don’t have to have real good scissors for this. Just be sure that it is hair scissors or not necessarily hair scissors, but they are sharp and I press very gently and it saved made me a lot of cutting animals. I scissor real gently. I don’t mesh it hard and if I were to get their leg, I would feel it before I completely closed it and that is just a technique that you get better at. You know just press gently. And you can get just about any length that a clipper will get with doing this and if you don’t want to invest in clippers, which they are expensive, but they do pay for themselves. And see how ratty that looks right there. She is dirty one thing but even clean she is not going to look a lot better until she fixes this that I’ve done. It is just the cat’s hair. And they don’t really look any better done with the blade. To get your desired length you do the body first, from there to the shoulder. That is like a different part of the cat. Go from there to there and then you always hold them him up so they can rest on you. That hair there I can see through and this is a good example of what I told you earlier about 10-15 minutes is all the cat is going to put up with on the table. Mind, yours, anybody. At the shops that is what we do. It does not matter if they are being real good or not. In 15 minutes it is a good idea to put him up and as bad as that looks when she has worked on it herself, it will look pretty good in a week."
