Advice

  • It is best to do this a little at a time, completing it in 3 or 4 days to calm the cat.
  • In addition, it will be easier to complete the work in 4 sessions of 15 minutes than in 1 hour.
  • After shearing your cat, brush the fur every day. Even if the cat doesn't like it, it will help to avoid having to do it again in the future.
  • If possible, download a vibrating app and pat your cat using it to get used to the procedure a few days before doing it.

Warnings

  • Stay away from the cat's face, neck and ears. If there are any tangles on the neck, ask your vet to remove them. You could kill the cat if you accidentally cut its neck.
  • Better to let a professional or vet do this procedure.
  • Do not provoke the cat in any way.
  • Do not give your cat a sedative without consulting your vet first.
