Can we talk about the whole “cats groom themselves” thing for a minute 😂
Because technically… they lick themselves. That’s not quite the same thing.
I see so many cats coming through the salon that are absolutely loved and well cared for, but their owners genuinely didn’t realise how much coat was sitting underneath, or that the little tangle they felt had actually turned into a much bigger problem.
All because people keep telling them ‘ CATS DONT NEED GROOMED CATS GROOM THEMSELVES ‘ 🫠
This myth is what caused your cat to become matted and need a lion cut 🙈
‼️Guys. Share this far and wide with your aunt , with your uncle with neighbour lizzy down the street .. cats only LICK themselves .. the top layer of coat . They don’t have combs in their mouths , they can’t throughly comb out tangles and dead coat with their tongues ‼️‼️
And honestly, I think that’s where we need more education around cat grooming.
Professional grooming doesn’t have to start when a cat is already badly matted. Regular grooming can be about preventing it getting to that stage in the first place, getting dead coat out, keeping on top of greasy areas, nails, little tangles and generally keeping the coat manageable.
I’d love to see cat grooming become as normal as dog grooming is.
We’re getting there 🐱❤️ enjoy some kitty 👅😋pics
