Pampered Paws, a grooming salon who donates great amounts of time and services to the rescue, shows grooming tools and techniques for long-haired cats.
This lady's cat grooming skills are like a neurosurgeon. There is absolutely no way the average person can groom their cat and NOT end up full of stitches like the way she's showing you‼️
OK, Y’all talking all that like it’s so easy. Either your cat is sedated, extremely gentle/old/lazy, or some other anomaly. Try this with the avg. fat, cuddly, house cat ….. like my former fur babies. I needed to have a full grown man hold down Precious (my adorable Siamese) while I bathed, and Ms. Cutie (my fat, adorable, super lazy tuxedo cat) bit THE VET (not just a groomer, but the actual vet who studied for yrs how to hold and handle cats) because she was tired of her exam!
My cat dosent need to be brushed tho she likes it and if i dont give her it she Will give you the death stare and when theres a lot of Wind she attacks and if you fight back she Will try use claws
I’m getting ready to try cutting mine rn and sooo nervous hahahah. BUT, she does love baths now, so at least I don’t have to worry about that part ha! My mini doodle apparently brought in fleas from the yard or garage. Not sure which bc I had NO idea until all three pets were scratching. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ Now I’m living the flea freaking chaos! Just did my puppy’s hair last night bc it was too hard to see them in his thick coat…. was so worried about more jumping off, so chose to did in the garage. With her, I can’t figure out where to do it bc there’s going to be SOOOO much hair!! Shes white so they are easy to see when she’s wet, but not so much when she’s dry. On a funny note, I’ve seen some YT videos of people doing their long hair cats with trimmers…. And oof, it looks terrible!!! But, I think it’s the only option I have at this point. Possibly gonna with scissors to fix areas if that happened. Heck idk - never done it before 😂😂
Thanks so much for the video. I just brushed my long haired cat for the first time without her skinning me alive or farting on me. She's happy and so am I.
aww.. the cat is so adorable and nice.. my cat won't let me brush his belly and on the inside of his hind legs.. I tried to brush those areas today and it did not end well for me.. my arms are full of scratch marks now.. fantastic.
My longhair rescue cat loves the brush. If he see it in my hand he jumps into the table and cries until I start! And it's daily, sometimes twice in spring
I know this is very old and you probably don't see comments anymore but THANK YOU! Our neighbor passed away and apparently his relatives just threw his very long-haired and traumatized kitty outside and moved away. She lived under our car for almost a year before we gave up trying to get her to warm up to us and just captured her and brought her in. It took months but now she's _quite_ the princess and loves everyone. Using a regular brush took months and wasn't very effective. We're getting her used to it though and needed to move up so she won't get anymore mats. Now I know what to buy and how to do it! Always had (and have) short-haired.
Great video, it was very helpful. When I was a child of 11 I used to sit on a wall and comb out a neighbours Persian with just a hair comb. The owner stopped me though, why I don't know cause she left him in a right mess and he had to be regularly shaved to get rid of the mats. I mean who doesn't want a free groomer!
1. Use a comb (greyhound comb ) on your kitties. A slicker brish is more for a dog. too easy to overbrush and burn the skin plus it just puts static all through the coat. Im a cat groomer.
Haha...that is funny, we finally just wrapped her in a towel and shaved her butt, I shaved while my hubby held her like a baby LOL...she hated every minute but wrapping her up helped and she is now more tolerant to me brushing her. Thanks for all the help and support!!!
I have 6 cats. 5 of them love to be brushed and actually 'ask' for me to brush them by running to the box where I keep all of the grooming items. However, my long-haired, very layered-hair cat won't tolerate any brushing at all. We make periodic trips to the groomer.
Finally, some common sense in a sea of ignorance. All these negative comments are coming from people (I'm assuming) that don't know the difference between a Persian's cat hair and any other cat. Their fur (let's not call it hair) is so different. Until you actually touch it and feel it don't assume you're going to be able to properly groom a Persian without a lot of knowledge and...effort. That's just the nature of the beast. No way anyone can do that and make it look gentle and easy. Good luck there pal!
Most well groomed Ragdolls, Persians and pretty much any long hair cat will act like this!!! Why... Well when the are kittens (if you purchased them from a reputable breeder)) they have already have several baths and brushes so they are use to it.. And if you keep up the correct grooming your cat will actually run to you as soon as you pick up the brush :D my Ragdolls love being brushed and when to wash them I just jump in the shower and they follow me :) lol.... Random cats hahahah
If they had been too rough that cat would have left her in its dust! I do wonder if it was sedated though. I don’t know any cat that would let you do ANYTHING to it for that long without letting you know IT was in charge!
no they aren't. I'm a feline exclusive groomer and have groomed over 400 cats. If you provide them with the right environment and make them feel comfortable, they don't need sedated.
Oh man...I'm sure the cat was fine as I'm assuming this is a professional, but I have suuuuper curly hair that gets tangled easily, and if anyone went through my hair THAT HARD?! Oooh boy, I'd fight back too! I could see the discomfort the cat was in; it reminded me of when I was little and was getting my hair combed. Yeeesh. I guess all the more important to groom long haired cats daily! ^__^
@@romz11khan Or end up full of stitches or minced meat 🤨😃😾 And I have ALWAYS been tender headed. I used to cry when my mom did my hair, and I have thinner hair and my mom was always very gentle! That's one thing I can def say about my mom, she was always super patience with me. I since got locks since 2000. Easy maintenance....esp now during this quarantine, and locks are long, stylish, and cute!👶🏽👩🏽🦱💗
I have to have my long haired cat trimmed around it's bottom. I hate to have it done, because anytime I take him to the vets he has to be sedated because he gets angry and won't let them work on him without trying to rip the vets apart. One other problem with my long haired cat is all the long hair that goes through with his poo. Once I had to take him in because so much blood was in his poo. The vet said the hair was either irritating his intestines or cutting into it. He gave him antibiotics and gave him a lot of Laxatone hairball medicine. I kept having to give him Laxatone in larger amounts for several days. If I see hair connecting his poo or too much hair in his poo, I start giving him Laxatone. Here lately I'm adding mashed cooked carrot or canned 100% plain pumpkin into his wet food for fiber. Just a small amount.

Thankfully, the kitty we ended up with actually adores being groomed. He will come and beg me to brush him and then purrs and purrs and starts making bisciuts. This video was helpful on tips for how to go about the brushing better. I only had the short bristled comb, but I will be picking up the long toothed comb tomorrow to see about better getting into his undercoat and getting out any stuck fur.
My ragdoll used to have tons of terrible mats but i finally got rid of them and now we have a good routine. I comb him first with a metal comb and then I use the slicker brush. He takes it pretty good now and then he gets his push up treat. I think he knows he will get knots and mats if er don't. I only need to groom him about every other day or 2 days but i don't let it go more than that. It was too stressful.
LOL! My cat won't let me look at her belly! And is this cat partially trimmed? My cat has hair twice as long. The poor kitty gets mats from turning her head. I have her shaved in summer, but she needs that fur the rest of the year. However, I think I can make a try with some new goals at least from seeing this vid. Thank you for posting. P.S. I love the cat's commentary -- "I'm not a joyful kitty!"
My cat loves being brushed, but even she can only take so much. I would NOT bring her to that lady. My baby girl is too sensitive for that rough treatment.
i have never been able to comb my cat on her stomach, she loves her back and under her neck combed and massaged. I love combing her tho such a bonding experience
I've been taking care of my friend's cat for over a month now. His hairs are all over the floor =[ And when I tried the brush, he started to kick it away with his hind legs after a few strokes. Really frustrating. I will try this kind lady's instruction tonight. Hope it will work.
Can't find reliable groomers in south MPLS. Only experience with a pro was a nightmare with some crazy lady. Never putting my cat thru that again. This lady has some good ideas.
@Sleepichick Thank you! I did have my vet shave her butt when I got her fixed but guess that is what I am going to have to do from now on...I just don't want to pay the cost of this b/c it's about 30+ dollors a pop...thank you for your help!
My cat is that fury but he hates it when i brush and comb him and he goes after the comb like a toy and scratches it and me in the process. Anyone have any tips!?
hold her by the skin behind her neck, it might seem cruel or whatever but it actually doesn't hurt the cat it just puts them in a trance, this is what I do when I have to bathe my cat if she gets really dirty or for flee and tick baths. it should keep them from moving around as much.
I will do that, I went to a grooming/boarding place across the street from my house they said on thier sign cats and dogs but when I went in they said they don't do cats, I told them to quit false advertizing then and walked out, lol! It would have been so convienent but so much for this being easy lol...try try again, thanks agian for your suggestions tho!
People, always get your kittens accostumed to being checked (body, ears, eyes, mouth, etc), brushed, even bathed, as they grow older they see it as a normal thing and it's MUCH MUCH easier when they have something/go to the vet to be handled
My 3 cats always snatch the brush from me, pass it to each other and the last one to get it, hides it under the bed. I have more than 6 brushes and combs plus several clippers under the bed lol!!!
OMGSH that's way to rough. She needs to be more gentle the poor cat. My cat is a long haired one and I don't use that much force to brush her and still get her cost nice and smooth!
Fay Griffiths I just commented the same thing. Shes too rough and shes not even talking to him and telling him its ok. Just hearing a soothing voice helps them. Poor kitty.
If I was that cat I would scratch her!! She is being so rough with him it's very clear! Look at his head moving back as she brushes it showing how hard she is pulling at his fur! This was painful to watch and anyone who thinks this is okay shouldn't own a cat!!
I mean, I'm not there so I have no way to be sure. But, the cat has super long, thick, curly, matted hair. It kind of acts as a barrier to the bristles of the brush. It just seems like she's been doing this a while, and knows how to get it done the safest, easiest way possible.
What do you do if your cat won't even let you touch her w/ a brush? She bites the brush and freaks out...and constantly having to cut the hair around her butt b/c she poo's on herself and gets all matted (gross right)...She is a long hair siamese so not anywhere as thick at this cat...help!
Allen Hallare don't know if you've found anything, but I am just in the process of ordering a calming spray from amazon, reviews are good and I am intending to use it the way you want to. I am also ordering a detangle spray. I will repost after I have tried them. My cat is a long haired (debateable) Tortie, doesn't even like to be petted down the back, only likes the head and ruff petted and scratched on her terms. Wish me luck so I can pass it on.
patty craig So the calming spray didn't really help as far as grooming. I guess I am too indulgent as far as her hating me. I did manage to grb herby the back of the neck and spray this www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000634IUO?ie=UTF8&camp=213733&creative=393177&creativeASIN=B000634IUO&linkCode=shr&tag=eauciuen0a-20 on one side and some mats after awhile came off. But there are many and there is the sanitary clipping that takes two to do. I am going the way of the groomer as soon as it gets warmer, she loves windows and had a respiratory thing before I adopted her last July. Probably another reason to be wary of sprays. Any way she will be having a mohawk and a fresh start for both of us, hope to use the time to get both us use to grooming. Thankfully there is a traveling groomer in the Philly area. I also use a house call vet, less trauma for all.
It's a lot a bloody work lass! I got me a persion named Rafa, and this is a pet for someone who has a lot of time, and ...money. I have a domestic as well, FattyKat and she is no trouble at all compared to him. Low maintenance.
I blame the trolls who call knowledgeable people animal abusers. I agree with you, but as a person who grooms and deals with handler aggressive dogs, I can tell you most people badmouth those who do know what to do and how to help. The ignorance and covering up of methods runs deep in this industry....unfortunately.
@peachfire1981 I don't know about your vet but I know mine will actually use anaesthesia to knock your cat out and shave them while they sleep. Mine thankfully loves having it's butt shaved
This cat is so sweet and patient! Too cute!
They love it...my cat is super calm when I brush him...like he is stoned..:)
This lady's cat grooming skills are like a neurosurgeon.
There is absolutely no way the average person can groom their cat and NOT end up full of stitches like the way she's showing you‼️
Nail trim first.
Awe hell I clip my cat down to a lion cut and she's fluffy long haired just like this one. It's not rocket science.
??? Just did(nail clippers missing) MUST keep under legs free of tangle free. Imagine hair pulling w/every step. You can very very carefully dematting
OK, Y’all talking all that like it’s so easy. Either your cat is sedated, extremely gentle/old/lazy, or some other anomaly.

Their not in pain your combing them, like how we have hair falls when we comb, that’s what’s happening, those are fur falls
My Ragdoll hates being groomed, I'm gentle with her. I've bought her so many different brushes. She turns into a scratching, hissing demon.
Maybe when she’s asleep?
This is Cutie Ringo Joy I've tried that with mine. He would wake up and give me the death stare!! LOL!
I trick my cat with treats lol. Idk if that's the right approach but it works for me lol
My cat dosent need to be brushed tho she likes it and if i dont give her it she Will give you the death stare and when theres a lot of Wind she attacks and if you fight back she Will try use claws

Finding these videos so helpful for my 5 month old Persian.
She is so cooperative my cat would've kill me lol 😂

My longhair rescue cat loves the brush. If he see it in my hand he jumps into the table and cries until I start! And it's daily, sometimes twice in spring
I wish I had your cat!!! Mine loses her mind when I even pull out the comb, forget about actually brushing her.

Sleepy kitty,

HE'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE!!!!!
I was really thankful on the tip where to position one"s hands

Yeah for real that’s kinda mean of her
She let a Persian cat outside?
my cat would have turned her arm into hamberger
hamburger
Amen to that
Someone got her on the arm pretty good!
Hhahahahahaga
1. Use a comb (greyhound comb ) on your kitties. A slicker brish is more for a dog. too easy to overbrush and burn the skin plus it just puts static all through the coat. Im a cat groomer.
cats thinking "cash me outside how bow that.."

Ours is awful, too. I use a cat muzzle and I clip his nails first. sometimes I get a family member to help hold a couple of legs still.
What a great video! Thanks for all the tips and tricks!! Very helpful!!

thank you so much! I am starting to just bathe cats and you're a life saver!
no they aren't. I'm a feline exclusive groomer and have groomed over 400 cats. If you provide them with the right environment and make them feel comfortable, they don't need sedated.
this is a very calm cat!
😂 if I tried this mine would cut me faster than I care to mention. This vid is the dream.
aww what a cute kitty
Omg you know the kitty feels sooo much better after this
What a good kitten!
Oh man...I'm sure the cat was fine as I'm assuming this is a professional, but I have suuuuper curly hair that gets tangled easily, and if anyone went through my hair THAT HARD?!

Melissa Lyn reminded me of my mother yanking knots through my mixed race hair sister I'm with u
for real!!! like can one person please upload a proper video of brushing your cat so they aren't in pain and neither are you?!

Or end up full of stitches or minced meat 🤨😃😾
And I have ALWAYS been tender headed. I used to cry when my mom did my hair, and I have thinner hair and my mom was always very gentle!

Not every cat is as friendly as this one. He is sooo friendly. The persians I met wouldn´t be like this if I tried to touch their belly.
Thankfully, the kitty we ended up with actually adores being groomed. He will come and beg me to brush him and then purrs and purrs and starts making bisciuts.
This video was helpful on tips for how to go about the brushing better. I only had the short bristled comb, but I will be picking up the long toothed comb tomorrow to see about better getting into his undercoat and getting out any stuck fur.
I felt bad for the cat....she is rough! Wow! I wouldn't want my cat combed that hard!
Oh I know. Poor kitty!
Poor baby he's meowing all the way through I wanna cuddle that cat
Everytime I see this video I just wanna take my cat and give him a good make-over.
Thank u. Learned a lot
I just tried and was mauled ..... my Persian HATES being brushed
Generally cats are sedated before they are groomed which is why they appear so well behaved in grooming.
My ragdoll used to have tons of terrible mats but i finally got rid of them and now we have a good routine. I comb him first with a metal comb and then I use the slicker brush.

great vid thankyou
How do you recommend to get into the armpits if you have a senior kitty with arthritis?
THANK YOU :)
It's a good information
awww i love that cat
My cat is that fury but he hates it when i brush and comb him and he goes after the comb like a toy and scratches it and me in the process. Anyone have any tips!?
hold her by the skin behind her neck, it might seem cruel or whatever but it actually doesn't hurt the cat it just puts them in a trance, this is what I do when I have to bathe my cat if she gets really dirty or for flee and tick baths. it should keep them from moving around as much.
Mine gets mad and chases after our other cat when she is let go.
My kitty chases the brush too when i do under her neck especialy. I try to do it when shes lazy and sleepy. That helps lots.
Same reaction of may cat he scretching brush and me he hate combing in his hair
@@lizakiefer8254 just be careful not to use that hold too hard, they can quit getting air
I will do that, I went to a grooming/boarding place across the street from my house they said on thier sign cats and dogs but when I went in they said they don't do cats, I told them to quit false advertizing then and walked out, lol! It would have been so convienent but so much for this being easy lol...try try again, thanks agian for your suggestions tho!
Sunseera....would neeeeveeeer sit still for this. Her fur doesn't even mat. Once she starts growling, I let her go and try again later.
Wolf Gypsy mine too he growls to let me know ,,,,enough
In your natural like you would NEVER get Dr.Boo to hold that still. I need something to put his head in to keep from getting killed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
People, always get your kittens accostumed to being checked (body, ears, eyes, mouth, etc), brushed, even bathed, as they grow older they see it as a normal thing and it's MUCH MUCH easier when they have something/go to the vet to be handled
What about using a small buzzer on their paws and hind? Especially for summer months.
Lol you made me laugh my moms like the hair comes flying but ur cats hair doesn’t come flying
Cute kitty ♥
Omg that cat is amazing, if I did that to my cat I would be dead now. I would have bled out!
My 3 cats always snatch the brush from me, pass it to each other and the last one to get it, hides it under the bed. I have more than 6 brushes and combs plus several clippers under the bed lol!!!
I always do the nails first
my cat would NEVER let me brush its belly!
@peachfire1981 Thats a shame, my vet offers free nurse services, butt shaving, nail clips, ear cleaning etc. Maybe try shopping around?
My Persian loves being groomed.
Very helpful. Thank you for posting. :)
ok I get all the grooming advice but she was missing something SURELY.... should'nt she REMOVE ALL THE HAIR GOT ON THE COMB before keep grooming ???
Keren Chadwick my sentiments exactly
Longhaired cats are beautiful but I would never get one. They are just way too much maintenance for me.
OMGSH that's way to rough. She needs to be more gentle the poor cat. My cat is a long haired one and I don't use that much force to brush her and still get her cost nice and smooth!
Fay Griffiths I just commented the same thing. Shes too rough and shes not even talking to him and telling him its ok. Just hearing a soothing voice helps them. Poor kitty.
Fay Griffiths ,
if you go too slow, you pull the hair. Persians are fairly resilient and most love a rough brushing.
Is your cat a Persian?
If I was that cat I would scratch her!! She is being so rough with him it's very clear! Look at his head moving back as she brushes it showing how hard she is pulling at his fur! This was painful to watch and anyone who thinks this is okay shouldn't own a cat!!
Fay, she's a professional groomer. Have you ever watched a groomer work on a Persian?
I agree...he was letting her brush until she became more aggressive and he is letting her KNOW
very well mannered cat, mine is still learning that the combs are not toys xD
You should call that cat repunzel
dont cats do that on their own?
That cat has alot of fur
I mean, I'm not there so I have no way to be sure. But, the cat has super long, thick, curly, matted hair. It kind of acts as a barrier to the bristles of the brush. It just seems like she's been doing this a while, and knows how to get it done the safest, easiest way possible.
What do you do if your cat won't even let you touch her w/ a brush? She bites the brush and freaks out...and constantly having to cut the hair around her butt b/c she poo's on herself and gets all matted (gross right)...She is a long hair siamese so not anywhere as thick at this cat...help!
I have a long haired cat.He is a long haired Persian names mr wiggs.
+Crystal Christensen Cute :)
My cat needs help
is there any spray agent that can calm cats? if I do this to one of my CAT she will bite me..
Allen Hallare don't know if you've found anything, but I am just in the process of ordering a calming spray from amazon, reviews are good and I am intending to use it the way you want to. I am also ordering a detangle spray. I will repost after I have tried them. My cat is a long haired (debateable) Tortie, doesn't even like to be petted down the back, only likes the head and ruff petted and scratched on her terms. Wish me luck so I can pass it on.

patty craig So the calming spray didn't really help as far as grooming. I guess I am too indulgent as far as her hating me. I did manage to grb herby the back of the neck and spray this www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000634IUO?ie=UTF8&camp=213733&creative=393177&creativeASIN=B000634IUO&linkCode=shr&tag=eauciuen0a-20 on one side and some mats after awhile came off. But there are many and there is the sanitary clipping that takes two to do. I am going the way of the groomer as soon as it gets warmer, she loves windows and had a respiratory thing before I adopted her last July. Probably another reason to be wary of sprays. Any way she will be having a mohawk and a fresh start for both of us, hope to use the time to get both us use to grooming. Thankfully there is a traveling groomer in the Philly area. I also use a house call vet, less trauma for all.
I think a little cannabis extract is in order.
It's a lot a bloody work lass! I got me a persion named Rafa, and this is a pet for someone who has a lot of time, and ...money. I have a domestic as well, FattyKat and she is no trouble at all compared to him. Low maintenance.
Fucks sake she was brushing that cat so hard and rough. Felt bad every time it meowed...
Do you even RUclips bro? It meowed a lot
I blame the trolls who call knowledgeable people animal abusers. I agree with you, but as a person who grooms and deals with handler aggressive dogs, I can tell you most people badmouth those who do know what to do and how to help. The ignorance and covering up of methods runs deep in this industry....unfortunately.
awww what a good kitty! hahaha my cat always attacks me when i try to brush his stomach.. :/
Is it better to brush while they're wet after a bath?
my cat does not want to be brushed ..
Mine lets me get away with about 4 strokes on his head once or twice on his back then he will claw the crap out of me!
@peachfire1981 I don't know about your vet but I know mine will actually use anaesthesia to knock your cat out and shave them while they sleep. Mine thankfully loves having it's butt shaved
my cat is very docile BUT HATES being brushed
my cat would have turned her arm into hamberger
Dumb question but what does she mean by brushing daily? Like 2 times a week? 3? 4? Or everyday? uhhh
