Cindy, I would also make sure that they stay with the cat, if possible. I know there are PLENTY of horror stories about how frustrated that some "bad" groomers get with kitties.

I do all of my own kitty grooming, including shaving into a kitty cut. And Doras hair too.

I hope that they can find a patient and nice groomer, that loves cats! Too bad Jen is not close to your friend!

And I am glad they are taking kitty inside where it belongs!
