Cat brushing why not cat vacumning?

I've often wondered how groomers and vets manage to give
cats baths. It must be an experience full of terror, sharp claws
and bloodshed.
Mine holds the hind leg after the cat is in a standing position.
Grooming goes easier that way ;-)

It's a simple matter of being gentle, assuring and confident while
you are gromming the cat.

If you start when they are young, it becomes a very ordinary
experience for the cat. My girl gets a bath (three soapings,
conditioner) and a blow dry every month, and is combed out every day.
She is fully cooperative, and actually enjoys the attention.

I even bought one of those grooming/thinning combs, but Pit2nya
bites at it...I can get a couple of swipes in. She was not as well
brought
up as Mme. Anaïs, I'm afraid, but is a good self-groomer.

Yu betcha!

Mine get a bath once a month and get "Furbied" whenever I get in the mood,
like nearly overtime I sit on the couch. Only Willow doesn't like the bath
and, she is so used to it, she spits a bit and I do have to hold onto her
pretty good. Doesn't try to bite, just runs away if I let go.
