Why do Cats Need Baths?

People think that cat groom themselves.  The reality is, cats LICK themselves.  Grooming and licking are two entirely different things.  What a cat lick itself, it’s covering itself in saliva and dander.  Nothing your cat does during the licking process relieves it from tangles, mats, fleas, dandruff, skin conditions, and unsanitary things from its hindquarters.  Not to mention if kitty is indoor outdoor what type of pollens and allergens it’s brushing up against and carrying back home.

After years of licking itself daily, a cat sleeps on the sofa or curls up on the very new pillow you lay your head on.

The Purrfect Cat Groomer uses the best products, high quality tools, and advance techniques to remove tangles, mats, degrease coats, remove excess shedding, clean up dirty hindquarters, trim nails, neaten up overgrown faces, and fix any other problems that a cat may have. In the end you will end up with a nice clean kitty.

Cats & Baths

Because cats are greasy, the bath can make or break a cats groom. Not only is the choice of shampoos an important aspect of this process, the bathing process itself plays a vital role.

Bathing a cat is an art, to be sure. Using ample amounts of shampoo and really scrubbing a cat down to the skin is necessary for achieving quality results. A groomer must pay close attention to the legs and head as well as the torso of the cat. I have seen many a completed cat groom whereby the main body of the cat looks pretty good but the legs and or head still look clumpy and separated.  So, while the cat is lying down, it looks fairly good.  But once the gets up and walks around, the clumpy legs and underbelly are seen, making the overall groom look less than stellar.  A good cat groomer will seek to achieve quality results on every inch of the feline.

When bathing cats, do not overlook these problems areas. Don’t be shy with the shampoo and use a good quality degreasing shampoo. Lather well, rinse well. Repeat if necessary.

During the drying process, if the coat continues to look “wet” or is clumpy at all, then the coat was not adequately degreased.  If the tail area looks or feels waxy, then stud tail is present.  The area must be rebathed.  If any kind of stickiness or tackiness is present during the drying process, then the cat is still greasy and must be rebathed.

The desired results should be a smooth flowing coat, free of separation and clumping. Be careful to check this after the cat is thoroughly combed out as sometimes combing will produce seemingly nice results, but then after the cat moves the coat separates and remains so.  If this is the case, the cat was not adequately degreased.

Remember to Have Your Cat Groomed

Cats do not groom themselves, they lick themselves, Licking does nothing to remove mats, kill fleas, eliminate dandruff, deodorize, correct bad breath, kill germs, trim sharp nails, or clean up messes. If we licked ourselves all over, we wouldn’t be clean, we’d be covered in saliva!

Cats & Baths

It is a common belief that cats “groom themselves”. Yes, cats do lick themselves, and their raspy tongue does aid in the neatening of their hair. But just as with dogs, our feline friends can benefit from regular professional grooming to enhance not only their appearance, but their comfort & health as well. Regular professional grooming will help combat dry, flaky skin, clean up a greasy coat, help keep excessive shedding under control, as well as reduce the incidence of hairballs. Regular grooming performed by a Certified Feline Master Groomer (CFMG) can also aid in the early detection of abnormalities that may arise throughout the life of the cat, allowing for the early intervention of qualified veterinary physicians to keep kitty healthy & in tip-top condition!

Cat Mats & Dreadlocks

Cats are greasy and they shed. The combination of the two works together to create tangles, dreadlocks, and mats, which eventually evolve into pelts if not tended to in a timely manner. By giving a cat a thorough degreasing bath and blowing out the loose, shedding hair, these problems can be eliminated completely. Dreadlocks on a cat are never fashionable.

If a cat’s coat is severely matted or pelted, a lion but may be the only option. Once shaved down, however, the cat’s coat can grow back to full lenght and stay healthy and clean as regular grooming appointments are maintained. Life is much easier and much more comfortable for a cat when it doesn’t have tight mats pulling at its skin.

Cost of Grooming a Cat

Cats are little, why does it cost more to groom a cat than a small dog?

Cats will not stand on the table for you to groom them, as a dog will.  They usually position themselves into tight balls.  It is more difficult and time consuming to groom a cat than a small or medium size dog. Cat bites get infected. The most frequesnt type of bite is a puncture wound. When a cat bites, and it is left untreated, within the first day, a groomer could be on antibiotics IVs for several days. This means money spent for medical treatments and loss of the opportunity to serve my clients. Most groomers choose not to groom cats due to the increased risk.  CatGroomerSouthFlorida.com 954-328-9022

Cat Groomers

Don’t go to a groomer who rarely grooms cats. Not all groomers are created equal. You cannot take techniques used for dog grooming and apply them to cats. In addition, these groomers are accustomed to dealing with dog behavior, not often finicky cats. They may not respond well to a cat’s scratching or lashing out, and the cat in turn will only become more upset. You will not get the desired results and, at worst, this could result in injury to your pet.   www.catgroomersouthflorida.com 954-328-9022

Cat Baths

People think cats are “self-groomers.” Have you ever seen a cat trim their nails or clean their ears? You have seen a cat lick themselves spreading cat saliva all over their bodies. When a person is allergic to a cat, they are usually allergic to the dried cat saliva on the cats body. Cats need grooming just like dogs. If you have a shedding problem in your home, a professional groom that includes a bath and blow dry will solve your problems. You need to call a Professional Cat Groomer!
