I had a Himalayan cat that when she was just a very small kitten, I took her to the groomer. She went every month and she was the Only cat they would groom. They trained her from 5 weeks old until she passed away. She was strictly an indoor cat. The rule in my house was that whosever she was sitting on, one of them was required to brush her while watching television. Perfect cat.

[@ildonoa3928]

Ollivander - "MADAM! I have had ENOUGH of your CEASELESS trespasses upon my person. GOOD DAY!" Vanessa - "Let me just finish this paw" Ollivander -"OOOhhh, if you MUST. I shall be expecting halibut pate to reward my tolerance of these indignities. Humph."

I remember the struggles getting my cat to even get near a carrier..then watching these cats at the groomer that are like: "What? You want me to leave this wonderful carrier? I will have you know that carrier is my ancestral home!"

[@WalstonArtistry]

My cats refuse to get in the carrier to go to the vet, then refuse to leave it at the vet and can't wait to get back in

[@hannajung7512]

There is a pretty simple trick: let the carrier be part of your living space and put some treats in it for the cats to find every now and then. They quickly will start to see the carrier as a nice place to be. and try if you can avoid it to force them into the carrier, instead coax them into it with some treats and then close it while they are munching on it. Especially when the cat freaks out in the carrier make a step by step training, close it just for a second and open it right away, then a bit longer, then some minutes and lift it up ... and so on... allways try to catch the moment were they start to get nervous and then let them out. This way they learn that they will not be locked in forever, that you will let them out again. you might never have them happy in the carrier, but at least they will not start to freak out befor they are even in it

my heart just melted seeing this stately old fellow with his cloudy eyes. the first cat i ever adopted passed away last year. he was already well into adulthood when i got him and i had him for a decade. he was this old and world-weary by the end of it. i was bathing him and brushing him regularly too and he was so sweet and tolerant. the only time he ever voiced a complaint was when i had to cut his nails, and even then it was just a resigned grumble.

[@doberski6855]

For my Himalayan cat I preferred the lion cut as she got older. Would have the groomer do it in the late spring and my cat was more comfortable in the summer heat, as well as fewer hair balls and she was better able to clean herself. By the fall enough of the coat had grown back for her comfort during the winter. Plus always thought she looked super sporting the lion cut! You made Ollivander look great!

I also get my 17 year old a lion cut in the spring. Since he’s an orange kitty he really does look like a little lion.

She is 100 times happier now, she even likes her little sweaters in winter. She while she might look "prettier" with her long coat, the lion cut helps her itchy skin (allergies to everything) and makes her happy. That is all that matters.

Do you find that shaving actually helps with allergies? I have a poor little girl who isn't even a year old who has severe allergies to the point of scratching herself silly.

[@freddiehansen7324]

@@Nikki_81 Yes, it has helped her a lot. Plus finding grain free food that she liked (which was way more difficult) If her skin is very itchy - be it from mosquito bites, or just being dry - I give her an oatmeal bath that helps (she isn't a fan but it does help). She can also keep herself clean when shaved. I brush her with a boar bristle brush when she allows it.

[@feliciascott6874]

I have cared for elderly cats, am caring for two of them right now, both over 15 years old. A person's vanity should never outweigh the comfort and needs of a pet.
