With as Little Stress as Possible

Grooming your cat can be a chore to say the least. Grooming a long-haired cat can be an almost hair-raising experience. Be prepared for hair up your nose, in your eyes, and you might even end up with a little in your digestive tract. I will say that when you are finished and your cat has calmed down from being violated, you will both be happy you took the time to make your four-legged ball of fluff feel her very best.

  1. Acquire your products and grooming tools. For grooming a long-haired cat, you are going to need a slicker brush, a wide- and fine-tooth comb, cat-size nail clippers, small blunt-tipped scissors, shampoo and conditioner. You can get all of these supplies at your local pet store for under $30.00. I do suggest using all-natural shampoos and conditioners because of the benefit to your cat's health, but you can go with anything you feel comfortable with. Just make sure that the products are made specifically for your feline, because human shampoos and conditioners can be too hard on their skin.
  2. Prepare your grooming area. I suggest a grooming table because it makes the process so much easier. A grooming table comes with an arm and a noose (a loop-like device to hold your cat in place). Make sure, if you are using this method, you do not leave your cat unattended. Cats tend to leap from the table if they feel they can get away, so it is best if you place the noose around the neck with one of the front legs through it. This will lessen the chance that you will hang your precious little fur-monster. A regular table at abdominal level will work just fine if you decide not to go with the grooming table. It is totally up to you; I just suggest the grooming table because it does make the task easier. Set out all tools from step one....
