Grooming Cats

Well.....anyone that thinks grooming cats is easy or a simple process doesn't really know about cat grooming.  I took my cat, Truck, up to Kristi's Grooming and she let me observe and ask questions because i was toying with the idea of adding mobile grooming to my job description.  I'm not so sure now!  However next Tuesday i am taking Kat to Kristi and observing once again.  Kristi is great!  She's been grooming for 22 years and is very good at it.  She's been doing my cats off and on for the past few years but Jason is the one who works his magic on my collies.  So here's Truck!!!
 This is Truck with his full coat taken last week.

This is Truck getting the full treatment.  He was very good -- very vocal -- but very well behaved.

Truck struttin' his stuff.
When he relaxes some and is easier to catch, i'll try to get some better shots of him.  She left his "mane" so he doesn't look much different in the head, but his body is shaved down and he looks and feels wonderful!!

  5. I have never groomed my cats!...My long haired girls are indoors with a/c and my outdoor babies are all short hair...I brush them all; I'm sure this would be great for shedding!...Truck looks adorable!...Have a great day!

  6. thanks Jacqueline -- i brush my cats and clip nails when i can but not consistently -- truck has a very dense coat and i think he really does feel good with no coat now -- she said he will have a full coat in about two months so that's perfect for winter, though my cats all stay indoors.

  7. He looks a cool cat! My parents have a long haired cat which they get clipped every year.
