Thread: Clipping a cat at home.

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    Because my Pidge is so old, she can't reach certain spots to groom herself and she mats very easily and she detests being brushed. So I bought a clipper at Pet Supplies Plus and it came w/a handy video that demonstrates the proper way to clip, where on the body to begin, etc. It was demonstrated on a dog but I applied it to Pidge and it was very helpful.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    One thing that makes grooming a lot easier is having the proper tools and with the Furminator sent by Our Friend Pat aka Phesina, its so much easier now.

    Got done clipping Erp's knots out with out any bloodshed from either side.

    Thanks for the tips and encouragements everyone.

    Even though Erp is a very mellow cat I did envision this being a big deal even though it was a small area, she has again shown she is a very forgiving, mellow cat.



    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    Erp's facial expression looks like she's saying "This guy thinks he got away w/something". Beautiful girl, blue.

    She sure is a pretty kitty! I'm glad you were able to get the mats out without incident. I didn't have any suggestions for you because I've never had to deal with that. I only have one long haired kitty and she keeps herself and her fur immaculate.

    What a beautiful cat! Erp, you are magnificent!

    When Smudge got mats, I just used scissors, but now that he's on a skin & coat supplement he doesn't get them any more. And he certainly doesn't object to having what's essentially a huge dollop of fish oil mixed into his food anyway.

    Love, Columbine

    What supplements are you giving Smudge?

    I clipped most of Erps mats out tonight, she wont be going outside anytime soon. I dont have pics because I dont have batteries for my camera.
