Spiffy Kitty House Call Cat Grooming
Helping furry felines feel fine
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.
I saw this feeder in action while cat-sitting.
Who . . . A senior cat with a habit of eating, then vomiting up food right away
Why . . . Automated feeder dispenses food on a schedule, so cat eats a little bit many times a day
Does it work . . . YES!!!!
So exciting. I used to worry about my sweet little friend throwing up. Her “parents” made such an effort to find a kind solution. Success!!!
Name of feeder . . . HoneyGuaridan A25 Automatic Pet Feeder
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.
January is a hot month for sales on cat grooming tools.
The slicker brushes look good and the price is so low.
PetEdge is one of the places where groomers shop.
Happy Shopping!
The secret is that . . .
Cat grooming is not for the cat.
Cat grooming is for the owner.
Things I see after I finish grooming a cat . . .
Owners breathing in the clean smell of their cat’s fur.
Owners ruffling the soft fur of their beloved cat.
Owners able to let their cat snuggle with them, without fear of being scratched by overly long claws.
It’s the simple things in life that give the most pleasure.
(Note. Grooming isn’t just for the owner. Many cats do need help staying clean. They certainly can’t trim their own claws.)
Happy Holidays from me and Mango at Spiffy Kitty House Call Cat Grooming!
