We have a lot of people who are hesitant about bringing their cats in for grooming. Below are the most common myths people state as to why they don't have their cats groomed.
We have answered these myths with facts that we experience every day when we are grooming cats.
Cats don’t like water
Majority of cats tolerate water very well & a lot even enjoy it. A bath at home when you are anxious about your cats behaviour is a very different experience to a bath with a professionally trained cat groomer.

Cats don’t like the blow dryer
Some cats may take a few moments to get used to the dryer, however most cats settle into the process & believe it or not actually find it relaxing. Don't believe us? Check out our previous post with video footage of cats being blow dried!
Cats groom themselves
Cats lick themselves all over, then leave their discarded fur all over your house & clothes. Cats have greasy coats that shed, combined with licking this creates knots, mats & a dirty smelly coat. Cats who “groom” themselves without help can develop hairballs, which they also tend to leave all over your house and clothes.

Short haired cats don’t need grooming
Short haired cats shed a LOT. A bath, blow dry & de shed treatment reduces shedding by 80%.
A full body clip reduces evidence of shedding even further.

My cat is nervous and will freak out
A lot of timid cats do well with the grooming process. Our experience and training allows us to identify a stressed cat and we can use calming techniques if required.

My cat needs to be sedated to be groomed
We do not sedate any cats that we groom. With the correct training & techniques, even the most aggressive or timid cat can be safely groomed without sedation. A very small amount of cats actually NEED to be sedated for grooming and if we come across one, we are happy to refer onto a vet who can do the procedure.
