I groom cats in your own home. I do everthing needed for a soft, clean cat. Claw trims to prevent painful scratches and damaged furniture. Brushing to prevent furballs and matting. Rear-end trims to keep things clean after the litter box visit. Baths for soft, shiny fur. Clients praise my calm, gentle yet firm attitude. Cat sitting visits last 1/2 hour. Daily photo, fresh food and water, playtime, cuddles. A true "cat nanny".
Does protective gear & e-collar & restraint make scared kitties become aggressive?
Dilemna. Cat stiff, scared, quiet. Wear protective gear. Next visit, cat is more scared.
Ir don’t wear gear, no e-collar, light restraint, kitty might eventually relax…OR might bite & scratch groomer.
WANT to use little to no restraint, BUT scratches and bites can do big damage. My dilemna.

Proceed with caution or better yet STOP. Wear protective gear. Suggest gabapentin for next time.

42% say grooming products are unacceptable

Intergroom Fun for Cat Groomers
I took the #320 bus to Secaucus last Friday. Why? Because of Intergroom, a trade show and educational event for pet groomers. I ogled grooming implements, especially the luxurious made-in-Japan gold Utsumi combs which are so beautiful.
Then I attended a useful seminar, “Handling Techniques for Cat Grooming.” The fun part of going to grooming seminars is watching adorable cats being used as “models”.
Continuing education makes for a better groomer.
Why senior cats need special handling
This is why I use plenty of towels when I groom a senior cat. They rest on soft surfaces. If they’re not heavy, I even support their body while bathing them. The little things count.
