Never wanted 2shave 'fancy' but she's a tomboy. Usually I can maintain by working off matting but recently it got so bad she decided 2dump the cat box, all over her. So I went looking for "home school' shaving. Usually I agree that is a stupid idea, but this was a situation that had 2B taken care of asap. My husband helped hold her, luckily we have a spare bdrm. I do wish i'd seen your video but thankfully 4a white cat it went well, did have couple close spots. No cuts. She did great & now happy

@ariellynn33 Great job!

Well, try to get a quiet clipper. Start on the backend, and it helps to sing or hum as you clip a cat, so they don't concentrate entirely on the sound of the clipper. Singing, humming, and lots of cute kitty sounds while you clip helps a LOT.

i noticed you said that she's the best cat you can shave because she's young, fat and not white, can you explain why its harder to shave a white cat?

thank you

[Shibamiss]

this kitty is so nice and calm, my cat would eat me if i did this to her

[vdelcastillo99]

@TheSnowman134 no i don't think they want that.. they hate it.. but i give them food and a house.. would they rather be on the street? i doubt it

[TheSnowman134]

@vdelcastillo99 But do you think that's really what the cat wants? Especially during winter.

[vdelcastillo99]

@TheSnowman134 is more horrible to have hair all over the house and horrible unhealthy to inhale cat hair everyday.. thats why some people do it, like myself, i shave mine every 3 weeks.

[vdelcastillo99]

@FurryFanatic101 Not hair all over the house and is bad for your healthy to inhale cat hair all the time.

i didmt know that people shaved their cats O_o... but i guess it makes sense for practical reasons... and boy does that cat love being touched!

[FurryFanatic101]

...WHY would you shave a cat? 0-0

what an amazing cat. If that were my sybil, she would have been stuck claw to face on that woman. I can't believe it just sat there and let her do that.
