At Taos Fur Styling,LLC, we understand how cats behave!
Some cats really don't like to see dogs or hear dogs barking, or simply don't care too much for dogs. Sensitive cats tend to stress out and sometimes become aggressive.
We want cats to be as relaxed as possible to enjoy their grooming experience, so we try to schedule cat grooming when there are no dogs, or very few dogs.
You will be asked a lot of questions about your cat and we take the time to go over the grooming that will take place.
Do note that we do not sedate your cat. If they become resistance and aggressive, we will give them a break and wait for them to calm down then continue with the grooming.
There are occasions when we just can't continue with the grooming because it may either hurt the cat or the groomer. Do let us know if you are unsure if they are receptive to grooming.
Why groom cats?
It used to be thought that cats groomed themselves so well, and so didn't need any human assistance, unlike dogs.
Times have changed. Knowledge has changed. Products have changed. Practices have changed.
Plump kitties usually need extra help with their own grooming "reach." Aging kitties typically need help with self-grooming.
Cats know when they aren't completely clean, and appreciate it when you help them. You can see it in their obvious demeanor, after they've been bathed and groomed. Many are overtly appreciative with face licks and most purr contentedly.
But better health and avoidance of problems before they become worse is the main reason to groom cats.
Dustmop and dust rag? It's true; her coat and paws are picking up some of what a dustmop or dustcloth picks up from your floor.
Licking and swallowing each day's dust and debris, chemicals, dirt, and loose hair can create hairballs and is not the best practice for optimal health of any cat. But with regular brushing and grooming, most hairballs can be avoided.
Indoor cats need grooming assistance the most. Long-haired cats typically need combing-brushing every other day, at home. It takes less than a minute, and can prevent mats - this is a must. Selecting the right comb and brush is important, and each cat's coat is somewhat different. You cannot judge by hair length only.
Short-haired cats are typically groomed professionally 6 times a year, and long-haired cats about every 6 weeks. Cats that are shown and those photographed commercially are bathed every few weeks at minimum.
Regular grooming of your cat also helps keep their owners healthy too by relieving allergy-causing dander dander and reducing shedding in your house.
If your cat has a problem with shedding, matting, or hot weather, then you may want to consider giving your cat the lion cut. The lion cut is a type of hair cut where your cat's coat is shaved with the exception of the face, mane, legs, and tip of tail. This type of hair cut is very commonly used for Himalayans and Persians.
Good hygiene is important for long hair breeds especially with regards to hairball prevention. I suggest brushing your long haired cat once a day. If this is something you know you won't be able to fit into your daily routine you should probably think about shaving your cat.
