Groomer tip. When using scissors, you can insert a small metal grooming comb between skin and fur that is being trimmed. That way, scissors have no way of cutting skin. Cat skin can tear easily, like paper, if it is nicked. Beautiful sweet kitty. Great trimming work.

Thanks for this and especially the scissors tip. I tried to do this alone, even the burrito and my cats just hissed and cried (and they are usually super calm). Eventually put some treats in front of them and snuck behind them and trimmed them while they were eating- worked like a charm. No cries, and they didn’t even realise! At one point one of them looked at me and just went back to eating her treats. Just a tip for anyone who is still struggling. 😊

I love hitting the like button for every video. You give good info and kitty eye candy :-) I had to bath my cat after a long car trip, moving house. There was very little fur that was NOT covered in poo, and he just sat in the warm water and let me clean him. No fuss at all. I think when they reach that stage, they know we will help them, and the trust was something that really touched my heart. I cried after it actually, because of the trust and he obviously knew I would know how to help him. That was so touching

I rescued a Maine coon at 8 weeks old whose mom got caught in a trap and taken for 2 days to be fixed. While she was gone, her babies went hungry and when she returned, she couldn't feed them as her milk wasn't enough anymore. We don't know if all her babies lived because we only found 2 when she brought them to a neighbors house to get food that she puts out. But anyways, he has long hair and he was filthy and covered in ticks so I know that feeling you felt when bathing him. Mine did not fuss or fight it either, he knew I was helping him. Love is a universal language!

I have an older Ragdoll, I adopted him at age 9 when his owner died. He hates the scissors hates being brushed, I tried every kind of brush.. he loves me, and purrs/ kisses but I took him to 2 groomers who said they have experience of ragdoll grooming. He came back today with no pantaloons, and his ruff has been trimmed, yet his inner coat has not been de-shed! I am glad to have found your video. I live on my own. I will enlist help, and next time I will do it myself. Thank you for these videos. I am not an inexperienced cat owner, but I never had a raggy before.

My Birman today left a trail of poop mashed into the floor from the litterbox all the way into the bedroom. There was even more mashed into her back end. It was way beyond trimming or wet paper towels. Into the sink she went! When she's all dry I'm going to hack some of her hair off. I don't care what it looks like, lol.

You both did a great job with this video, and it speaks a lot at how relaxed Pixie and Bluebell are relaxed while you give a trim. I am getting 2 ragdolls the end of July and am learning a bit now to better prepare me. I had a ragdoll last year, and at 6 mths she got fixed and developed FIP. It was fatal. The shock has taken a toll, but I really would love a kitty and the breeder recommends 2 for me to help with all the play time. Thank you for your channel.

Just wondering what are the treats you are giving to Pixie and Bluebell. They are so precious. I am still trying to figure out what breed of cat my longhaired Fluffy is. Wish I could add a pic. I am sure a Vet will know on his first visit. I live in a small town and am trying to find a "good" Vet. A worker at a convenience store said he just saw a person open their car door and drop him out. I just couldn't leave him there near a busy highway. He had a collar and had already been "fixed" and guessing about a Teenager. He quickly grew out of his collar and he is so very loving and vocal. Talks all the time. And I do really want to know what treats you use. His butt area needs a trim and so glad you have this video for me to learn how. Thanks for letting me tell my story. And wish me luck in finding a Vet that really loves animals and not just in it to make money.
