Cat Forum / General Topics / May 2004where to get a cat shaved?
will he have to be sedated? petco wants $65 Why do you want to do this? > will he have to be sedated? petco wants $65 Troll alert. >Why do you want to do this? >> will he have to be sedated? petco wants $65 Figured as much. But then again I just had to deal with a "troll" at work who gave away 2 week old kittens. She passed them off as 8 weeks old. Unfortunately I didn't see them. 2 died, one is doing quite well. You just never know with some people. > Troll alert. > > >Why do you want to do this? > >> will he have to be sedated? petco wants $65 > Troll alert. > > >Why do you want to do this? > >> will he have to be sedated? petco wants $65 yah im a troll bc im spending half a hundred dollars getting my cats coat in shape. and no no one wants to shave cats, thats why they have hte service available at petco, petsmart, etc. genius. I apologize for calling you a troll. There are a lot of bogus posts, and your post was rather skimpy on details. Does the cat take well to brushing? >yah im a troll bc im spending half a hundred dollars getting my cats coat in >shape. and no no one wants to shave cats, thats why they have hte service >available at petco, petsmart, etc. genius. apology taken. yah he likes being brushed, or at least doesnt mind. im able to get the job done if i have to pin him down upside down, he doesn seem to mind. im using a human hairbrush (only used for cats now!) im thinking maybe that is the problem, but i dont know. > I apologize for calling you a troll.

If no look there, maybe try calling around to dog grooming boutiques. As far as sedation, that would depend on the cat, does the cat get "wiggy" about things like hair dryers and vaccuums? If your answer to that is a yes, I would recommend it. Just so you know, shaving a cat can be severely damaging to the cats ego, I have a cat with a nervous condition, He had to be shaved, afterwards he was depressed. Cats, by nature are vain critters, not having hair may cause them to go all "hermit under the bridge" on you, With my cat I had to really watch him to make sure that he'd come out eat. Best of Luck.

If your answer to > that is a yes, I would recommend it. yes definately take it to a groomers because the last time WE shaved our cats butt hair my husband wrapped them in a towel and they were NOT happy about it. One of them is very sensitive and doesn't like my husband in the first place, well doesn't like anyone but me, it takes time for her to get to like anyone and it's usually a woman. We have to get it done again because they are long hair cats and we've noticed having their behinds shaved keeps them from having extra poop and cat litter stuff stuck to it. If you can find a better price go for it, tho in my experience Pet Smart does a great job with the animals in making them feel confortable and safe. But it all depends on the animal as well. In our experience vet prices were higher but it also depends on the vet too. Just pull out the yellow pages and start thumbing through them asking them for prices :). If they are higher than someone else mention it and see if they'll give you a deal. Hope this helps. - Leigh
