I’m a Certified Master Cat Groomer from NCGIA.. I went to school to learn how to groom cats. 

Why have your cat groomed you ask? Well a long haired cat can get a small tangle that quickly turns into a mat, a mat can turn into a bigger mat and finally a pelt that covers kitties entire body  and it’s painful. If a mat is under your cats armpit for example it can be really, really painful. And guess what? A short haired cat can get them too.  

Remember when your mom combed out your hair when you were a little girl? When you had a knot or a tangle you would cringe and whine and cry. Now imagine that you are small and have four legs, and can’t speak…

How to Choose a Cat Groomer

Choosing the right person to be your pet’s groomer is very important, and can seem like a daunting task. This article will help simplify the process by highlighting some of the most important questions to ask and things to look for when choosing your next pet groomer.

Your groomer is vital to your pet’s happiness and health. Where your pet may see their vet once or twice a year for check ups, your groomer is there every few months giving them a full once over. Groomers are responsible for so much more than a bath and hair cut. They maintain ear, teeth, nail and skin health; frequently checking for any new abnormalities such as suspicious lumps and keeping an eye on existing issues, notifying you of changes. This is why it is so important to find a dedicated professional to care for your pets grooming needs; and here is how you can make sure you’re getting the best your town has to offer.

If at all possible, watch your kitty being groomed. This way you will have the opportunity to check out how your kitty is being treated. The very best way to find a groomer who’s grooming style matches your personal preferences is to ask for a referral from a neighbor, friend or co-worker if you have admired their pets grooming. Next, get your list of questions ready.

Questions you should ask

What is your grooming experience and how long have you been in this business?
Something to keep in mind is that there are no state or national boards to hold groomers to any set standards (like there is in cosmetology) so knowledge and experience can vary drastically. There are organizations and clubs groomers can pay to join but this does not necessarily make them the best option. This also means there is no health board to make sure the salon is clean and bacteria free.

The best cat groomers are educated by The National Cat Groomers Instituted of America. , NCGIA

How to Find a Cat Groomer

You would not go to your dentist to get an eye exam, so why take your cat to a dog groomer?  It’s important to find a groomer professionally trained in feline techniques, and with an understanding of cat behavior and physiology.  Not all cat groomers are created equal!  Do your homework, so your fur ball looks polished and isn’t traumatized by the experienced.

Find out what type of training the groomer received.  Cat grooming is not covered at the the average grooming school, convention or expo.  The National Cat Groomers’ Institute of America offers week long training, workshops, seminars, videos and study packets. Check to see if your groomer is professionally certified.  A Certified Feline Master Groomer has passed nine exams and received certification in CPR specific to felines.   Master groomers are tested on such elements a anatomy and breeds, and practical skills, such as long hair full coat groom and standard lion cuts.

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 worse, this could result in injury to your pet. 

Keep up with home grooming,  Your cat may not like it, but if you regularly brush, bathe and trim, amoung the give aways.

Pet Grooming is a necessary component of keeping certain types of cats, dogs, or other furry animals. Pets with long hair need to be groomed frequently to prevent matting.

Cats Tongue & Grooming

Cats lick their fur for more than just cleaning.  It also helps them regulate body temperature, protect wounds and relieve stress.  Read on to find out how a cat’s tongue provides build in health care. And how you can help your cat maintain ideal grooming.

Cats have sweat glands in their faces, anal areas and paws.  These glands alone may not be sufficient for releasing body heat, especially in warm weather, but licking can help.  Licking removes excess fur to help keep the coat lighter, and the saliva on the fur has a cooling effect as it evaporates.

Your cat’s saliva has antibacterial properties.  So when he or she licks a wound, it does more than smooth the injury.  It helps protect from infection, too.

Grooming also serves as a massage or sorts for your cat.  The repetitive action of licking helps to relieve stress and improve circulation, much like muscles and tissues massages do for humans.

 From time to time, you will need to call a Professional CAT Groomer to help with shedding and complete the job your cat is not able to do. Examples: trim nails, clean ears, and properly bath your little fluff ball.

Dangers of Not Grooming Your Cat

Your cat is a special member of your family.  It seems she is independent that she does not need you to take care of her, but that’s not true.  YOUR CAT DEPENDS ON YOU COMPLETELY, she just pretends she doesn’t sometimes.  Many cats that come through the doors of many Humane Societies need baths, mats combed out, or complete shave-downs because of the perception that cats relay on humans for food and water only.

Cats that are not brushed regularly (especially long-haired) cats can get mats in their fur.  Mats pull on your pet’s skin and if they connect from front leg to middle to back leg, even walking can become excruciating  as each leg movement pulls on every part of your cat.  Obviously, mats are painful, but dead matted for can hide a host of skin problems as well.  Moisture trapped at the cat’s skin level can breed bacteria.  This spreading bacteria then attacks your cat after mats have formed, it will take even more patience because it will be very painful.  Would you sit still to have your hair ripped out by the roots?

Grooming a cat is not difficult, but does require some patience on your part.  All cats need nails trimmed once a month.  Your cat many need a few tried to get all the nails, but your patience and a few treats will pay off during each subsequent trimming.  Cleaning ears is very important each month also.  Cats can get painful ear infections if ears are let dirty too long.  For a  short-haired cat, brushing with a slicker brush once a week is fine.  If your cat has medium or long hair, comb through all the fur, then follow up with a slicker brush.  You will need to do this once or twice a week to prevent mats.  A comb will get through a tangle before it has a change to mat.  If you do find a mat is to difficult, you need to call a professional cat groom from NCGIA or your local veterinarian.
