 Yes! Because we feel every cat should feel fabulous and be the show cat of his or her own world! First, let's debunk the myth that cats do not need grooming. For one, "they groom themselves" - which leads to hairballs getting ingested. This has and can cause severe blockage in their digestive tracts, either causing death if the hairball cannot break down, or surgery to remove. Neither one of those options are beneficial, therefore, good deshedding and combing is best to keep your feline's coat free of shedding fur. There are products out there for this very thing, but there is always a good cat groomer available for your cat!  Nails - so many people think that nail trimming is not needed. While many cats can sheath their outer nails with scratching posts, this is to release phermones, which makes them feel good. However, it is not the same as trimmimg them. Like us, that is growing cartilidge, and it always grows. As your kitty ages, the nails become thicker, and most cats cannot keep up with the sheathing process like they did when they were younger. Whether young or old, the nails can grow in a curve and grow right into your kitty's pawpad without you ever knowing. This can be painful, and even cause your kitty to walk less, only as needed, because it hurts. Always know the condition of your kitty's nails. If you have a hard time with nail trimming, we are here to help!  The Bath! One service that is highly recommended. Cats collect oils, and dirt sticks to it in their fur. When they lick themselves, they ingest all of this along with loose fur. We've discussed fur ingestion is dangerous, but even what is in their fur can be harmful, and unpleasant. This is where the bath comes in handy. If cats are handled and bathed at a young age, they consider this normal. When not, then there is some work to do. You'll be very amazed at the results and to find out that cats can like baths even if time is needed to get them used to the idea. Note - aggressive cats, cats with medical issues, and such are not always good candidates. If you are unsure about your kitty being able to withstand the bathing process, please consult with your veterinarian first.   We also offer nail cap applications, which is a good alternative for anyone wanting to declaw their cats! Please do not declaw! Instead, invest in a positive way to treat your baby, withour risking their future health. We use Soft Paws and have a variety of colors for your fancy feline! Sani Trim & Specialty Cuts Sanitary trims are requested mostly for long haired cats, but can also apply to short haired cats. When their sanitary area gets messy often and unpleasant, this service can remedy the concern. Some cats that are overwheight cannot reach their end side, a good trim can help keep the area cleaner. Of course, if they cannot reach it, you are probably aware that you need to help clean every so often until they get to a weight that is more sutiable for themto do some of these things naturally, but realistically, do we really want them licking back there to begin with? Lion cuts and comb cuts are also favored among feline owners, and we do them also. Our experience with these cuts are not as extended, but we've got the job done and getting quicker at it in the process.
