AimParticipantOne of the Cat Army (the one pictured above) has short fur, but it’s really thick with a downy underlayer. He’s shedding much like how Husky dogs shed in Spring, in thick chunks. I’ve got a Furminator, but it’s just not enough. Can anyone recommend a groomer who doesn’t charge an arm and a leg? He doesn’t really need a bath, though I suspect he’d be fine with one – he loves water – but he REALLY needs a super thorough brushing out.

squareeyesParticipantOn a related topic, what are professional opinions on shaving long-haired cats? I’ve got a Himalayan and a long-haired tabby (poss Maine Coone cross). When it comes to regular home grooming (which I do), my Himalayan hates being brushed, and despises when I try to comb out his frequent painful mats. But is it good, bad, or indifferent to have a cat shaved once per year?

muttleysMembersquareeyes-once you shave your cat you have to continue to shave it as the hair will grow back softer, like cotton, and matt much easier.
It doesnt hurt the cat to shave it but it will just be something you have to continue to do.

AimParticipantThanks, Muttley’s. I’ll give you a call. He LOVES being brushed, so it’s not a difficult job in that way, just really time consuming to do a thorough brushout. Plus, he likes to “dance” while you brush him, and without the proper setup you end up doing a little brushing in every room, so the mess can’t be confined.
Fair warning, he’s a HUGE cat – about 25 pounds. :)

FranciParticipantsquareeyes –
I’ve two cats similar to yours, the vet thinks they are at least part Maine Coon.
Last spring I made a mistake and asked for the wrong thing when I took them in for grooming.. they ended up with lion cuts.
Once they recovered from the initial shock (they are senior kittys, 14 years) – I think they actually enjoyed the short hair during the warm summer months. Their coats grew in just the same as before. I’m planning on having it done again this year.
