This video was EXTREMELY helpful. .I bought the Conair Dog Grooming kit for about $35 at Target. My kitty is 17 years old. She has arthritis and can't preen herself anymore. I gave her CATNIP .Also, do it where your cat feels safe, isn't around other pets/children/distractions, and a not in a cold room. I put a puppy training pad"on the floor in case of any accidents. She is THRILLED that all that matted hair is gone! Purr city!

that cat is vERY calm. it's not in pain or anything, calm down people. Cat's get very matted fur when it's that long and sometimes need a shave...

@dbattleo7 we have two black cats and one is like an Angora. We brush the long hair cat every day and never see his hair on anything. He takes Laxatone and never gets hairballs. Neither cat is allowed in bedrooms or on sofas. We keep protective cloths (towels) on all the chairs. The long hair also serves to keep the cat cool in summer, warm in winter. It likely protects him from dirt, disease and injuries. We have no doubt that shaving his beautiful fur would do more harm than good.

@faithson I'm certainly not lazy, but with a solid white, Long haired Turkish Angora its hard to keep it's hair off my furniture........ not to mention that I wear mostly dark clothing. As for it being sickening to shave a cat, well.... do you get hair cuts? If you do, Don't ever cut your hair again!!!! It would be sickening!!!!

[faithson]

@dbattleo7 ??? are you too lazy to brush your cat?

[dbattleo7]

@faithson oh piss off

[faithson]

This is absolutely nuts! All you have to do is brush your long hair cat every day. Unbelievable and sickening what people do to animals. What a sad world.

it's probably an ANDIS clipper, one of the best on the market. Yes, a 10 blade...I do have to groom/clip my cat twice a year; it cuts down on the hair all over your house too, plus the kitty feels a hell of a lot better.

For the record of all the horrible trollers, hot weather can kill long hair cats. They matt a hell of a lot faster and easier and shed so much, let alone all the extra heat they keep in, that shaving them at the start of summer is the only humane thing to do.

why does the cat appear to be limp as if she were dead by the end of the video? did she died?
