Required Tools
To groom a cat you will need the following tools:
- long-toothed comb;
- a slicker brush is needed to comb out all the fallen hair;
- nail clipper;
- cotton pads and sticks;
- special toothbrush and toothpaste;
- antiseptics in case the animal gets injured during hygiene procedures;
- scissors;
- trimmer.
It is not recommended to cut tangles with scissors. It is very easy to injure an animal this way. And trying to untangle them is also not a good idea. Due to the special structure of wool, this is impossible. A trimmer is best for removing tangles.
You should not use any human products when caring for your cat. Toothpaste has too strong a smell and can cause irritation, and human shampoo is not suitable for a cat. A human toothbrush has too hard bristles. If there are no other options, you can use a brush for very young children. It is better to purchase all other products at a veterinary store in the cat products section. .

What is grooming
For many, the word grooming is strongly associated with cutting an animal. Actually this is not true. Grooming is a set of measures for caring for the skin and fur of an animal; it also includes caring for the cleanliness of the cat’s eyes, ears, teeth and claws. These procedures can be carried out by a specially trained person in a special salon, or the owner himself can do them.
Cats are quite clean, and therefore they do not need much special care. They rarely get haircuts; often they are needed only by certain groups, or according to indications. Most often, owners of animals who participate in exhibitions turn to the services of groomers. In this case, the pet is scheduled to see a specialist in advance. It should look perfect for the exhibition. The owner can deal with the departure of an ordinary pet on his own. The main thing is to accustom your pet to hygiene procedures from childhood.
If the owner himself cannot cope with grooming, but also does not want to worry the pet too much, a groomer can be called to the house. In a familiar environment, it will be much easier for the cat to endure all the procedures. In addition, there will be no unnecessary stress due to visiting unfamiliar places.

Necessity of grooming
There are cats that cannot cope with their own hygiene. There may be several reasons for this:
- elderly age;
- excess weight;
- health problems;
- hormonal surges during the period of sexual hunting.
And completely healthy animals require the care of their owner. It is not advisable to frequently bathe a healthy animal, since it is often a lot of stress for the cat, and frequent exposure to chemicals can lead to skin irritations. The cat is bathed if there is any contamination, before shows and as indicated by the veterinarian. If you need to apply a special product to your skin. In this case, you should make sure that the animal does not freeze or catch a cold after bathing. If the cat experiences very strong stress from contact with water. You should avoid swimming altogether. Dirt can be removed using wet wipes.
Some breeds are prone to having very watery eyes. Therefore, they must be periodically wiped with a clean cotton pad moistened with boiled water. It is necessary to periodically inspect your pet's ears and remove dirt from them with a cotton swab.
Veterinarians strongly do not recommend surgery to completely remove the claws. But you can trim them periodically. Especially if the animal does not actively use the scratching post. When trimming nails, be careful as blood vessels can easily be damaged. Just in case, you should prepare an antiseptic and cotton pads.
Owners rarely bother with brushing their pet’s teeth. As almost all cats age, they develop tartar, which can lead to gum disease. That is why this procedure should not be neglected. You should be accustomed to brushing your teeth from childhood, this is the only way your pet will normally accept this not very pleasant procedure.
Cats, especially those with long hair, need to be brushed regularly. To do this, you can use special combs that will help remove lost hair and slicker brushes. This way the pet will look neater, and it won’t swallow so much fur while licking. In addition, there will be much less hair on the furniture. During the shedding period, it is advisable to comb your pet every day.
Grooming cats is an issue that causes a lot of controversy. Many veterinarians and breeders advise cutting an animal's hair only when absolutely necessary. This is due to the fact that the event itself can cause considerable stress in the animal. Short haircuts can lead to disruption of heat exchange, and the undercoat may never fully recover. In addition, many cats undergo haircuts under anesthesia, which has a very bad effect on the health of the animal.
There are some breeds whose special coat structure leads to the formation of tangles. Theoretically, this problem can be solved by combing the animal every day. However, even this does not always help. Mats easily absorb dirt and can emit an unpleasant odor, irritation can form on the skin underneath them, and the cat can also swallow the mat while licking, which can lead to intestinal blockage.

Grooming of cats is also recommended for the following reasons:
- The animal is very hot, and this problem cannot be solved by other methods. If it is impossible to reduce the temperature in the room, then haircuts are used for long-haired animals.
- The animal will undergo medical procedures or surgery. In this case, the wool is clipped only in the right places.
- The animal has a skin disease, for the treatment of which it is necessary to cut the hair. In this case, the procedure is carried out in a veterinary clinic.
- The cat swallows too much hair. This often happens in long-haired breeds. Often the hair itself easily comes out of the body, but in some cases this does not happen.
- The animal needs to be combed very often, and in extreme cases, trimmed.
When not to cut your cat's hair:
- The animal has serious skin problems.
- The cat experiences a lot of stress during the grooming process.
- If the house is cold. The animal will begin to freeze and may catch a cold.
- The cat has serious health problems, for which unnecessary worries are contraindicated.
Even if you really want to give an animal a fashionable and unusual hairstyle purely for aesthetic reasons, this idea should be abandoned. First of all, you need to be guided by the interests of your pet, and not by your own desires.
Shave or comb?
If your pet has lush and long hair, then you are familiar with the problem of mats.
This is matted wool that forms a tight fabric, due to which the skin underneath does not breathe at all (more about tangles here). You can get rid of tangles in two ways: shave with a clipper (quickly and at no additional cost) or disassemble with a comb (takes time, can cause discomfort to the animal and is paid additionally). Most often, cats, due to their coat type, form strong tangles that cannot be sorted out; in this case, the most obvious and correct solution would be shaving. In this way, we save the skin from diaper rash and do not torment the animal with prolonged scratching.
Also, shaving cats is possible in the summer, during the hot season, to prevent heat stroke and various ailments from the heat.
In other cases, cats need to be combed, that is, express molting is carried out. During seasonal molting, cats often lick themselves, swallowing a huge amount of hair; in addition, hair flies throughout the house, it is everywhere: on clothes, furniture and even in food. Our express shedding procedure is aimed at removing old, dead hair that would have fallen out anyway. This way your pet leaves all the unnecessary hair to us. And you get a well-groomed cat and a clean home.
Pet behavior
Most hygiene procedures can become a real stress for a cat if it has not been accustomed to them since childhood. Therefore, from the first months the kitten needs to be accustomed to grooming procedures. You need to periodically comb him, trim his nails, clean his eyes and ears.
All this should be done carefully, without using force, otherwise the pet will be afraid of these procedures in the future. If you behave correctly with the animal, over time it will get used to it and will be patient with all manipulations.
If the animal is very nervous during the grooming process, you should not do anything by force. You cannot use force, and even more so you should refuse to use anesthesia. Some salons use it. Of course, in a dream the animal does not see or feel anything, and therefore does not stress during the haircut. However, anesthesia negatively affects the health of the animal. If the cat had hidden pathologies, it may not wake up at all.
Before grooming, it is advisable to trim your cat's claws. If she suddenly gets scared and starts to struggle, this will help avoid injury. It should also be noted that haircutting is a very long procedure that can take up to several hours. Not every animal, even the calmest one, can endure this. Therefore, it is desirable for the owner to be nearby. He will be able to distract and calm the pet if necessary.
