Grooming

Grooming is very important in regards to cats,
proper maintenance of the coat will help
ensure proper hair growth and minimize matting and tangles.
How many times have you attempted to brush
those pesky little mats that develop between your kitty's leg,
but every time you try your kitty becomes unmanageable
and intolerant...so you let him go with hopes
that you will get that mat out next time.

Brushing is important, but bathing is just as important. Common misconceptions are that cats don't need baths, but this isn't true. Bathing helps eliminate dead hair, it promotes growth of new hair, reduces the amount of shedding and avoids skin problems. For Persians, a bath every 8 weeks or so will make a dramatic difference for your kitty. Some Persians, especially males, will develop "black spots" on the tail known as stud tail. Stud tail is caused by the males hormones, and can leave his tail and part of his coat greasy and difficult to manage.

Grooming also includes the ears and and eyes.
Persians tend to have eye discharge,
which need to be cleaned every day to prevent bacterial growth.
Just like every other breeds of cats,
Persians have ear wax build-up that occurs.
Your kitty's ears need to be kept clean so that infections don't start.

Cats that have never been introduced to bathing can be difficult
or hard to manage, to the point where the owner feels
they cannot bathe their kitty.
We offer professional grooming for all breeds of cats.
As avid exhibitioners, we are constantly grooming Persians and Himalayans
and know the time that needs to be dedicated towards bathing & grooming cats.
Grooming cats is different than grooming dogs,
special care must be given to those cats
that aren't accustomed to being bathed and groomed.
As well, detangling a few mats shouldn't mean shaving it off, as some groomers do.
We use products that are safe on cats and eliminate 'fly away' hairs, our complete groom enables you to continue daily brushing for weeks before encountering mats or tangles.
