Cats clean themselves, right? We see our cats spending a lot of time each day licking and cleaning themselves. So, why should a cat be professionally groomed?
A professional feline grooming session stimulates skin circulation and removes loose hair which helps prevent hairballs and matting. If your cat’s fur is prone to matting, careful and professional attention is often needed. A professional groomer is trained to delicately address matting with minimal stress on your cat (and you). Nail trimming is also offered by professional groomers, and is recommended for new cat owners who are not yet knowledgeable about the proper method to clip cats’ toenails.
Periodic bathing can also be important for your cat’s health and coat maintenance. Professional groomers recommend bathing for shorthaired cats at least twice a year and four times a year for medium to longhaired cats. Since most cats do not have a natural affinity to water, and an attempted home bathing could have hazardous consequences, it is strongly recommended to leave cat bathing to the professionals!
