Grooming a difficult cat

This video shows grooming with clippers that promotes letting the cat choose his preferred position and using minimal restraint. – by Amy Wright and GroomerTV

*** While the cat in this video does display fearful behaviors and while we don’t endorse drawing on cats, the fact that an effort is made here to accommodate the cat and to not force restraint are very pertinent. Considering the lack of low stress cat grooming videos available online, this one is interesting to see a groomer clipping. ***
