Exclusively Grooming Cats

As a cat groomer I must responsibly consider all the effects my services will have on the entire cat. The cat must have a good experience.

I have the pleasure of grooming cats and helping them look and feel their best. By removing dead coat and matted fur the cat will appear more beautiful. By treating dander, oily skin, shedding  with the best shampoos advailable.  A cat will feel clean and fresh. Trimming the claws prevents injury to the cat’s paws.

More relevant than outside appearance is the impact on the cat’s psychological health. A controlled environment with minimal outside noise is ideal. The less threatened the cat feels the better it can focus its attention on the immediate interaction. Cats become overwhelmed quickly and almost always respond with aggressive displays (hissing, swatting, biting,  etc.). When I consider what the cat’s perception could be in any given circumstance I’m able to adjust my style so it compliments that particular cat’s personality. Some may want lots of affection and sweet-talk or may need to cuddle extra close while others may prefer the just-get-it-over-with-and-don’t-talk-about-it method. Whatever creates the greatest sense of understanding and respect between the cat and me will create a positive experience.

Most important is the delicate essence, or Spirit, of each unique cat. Similarities among breeds abound as do commonalities related to age and health. As with us, cats are magnificent beings who want to feel safe and be loved. That is why a kitty being groomed in its own home feels safe. No car rides or other animals to scear them.
