Dr. Kim Kendall is passionate about grooming cats for good health.
Many cats are now reacting to the airborne particles landing on their skin and making them ITCH intolerably.
The condition is called atopy, and is similar to the eczema of children and adults. If you have the genetics, you will get the itch.
Aside from that, many of the long-haired cats - Ragdolls and Persians - are finding it harder to keep their coats clean, as the more they lick, the more the pollens, moulds and diesel stick to their coats, making them daggy and knotty. Regular grooming is the key - and the Feline Fine grooming service every Saturday helps cats go home feline divine!
Of course, cats who are uncomfortable get washed at other times, but one of the features of the Saturday service is that your cat will get the full wash and blow dry attention of a Kitty Day Spa! â??Clawdicuresâ?? and Clipping - both Lamb Clips and Lion Clips - are increasingly popular for home hair management!
The clips can be done without sedation most of the time - a pretty unique service here in Sydney - but Dr Kim is available for the scardey cats and the very matted ones who need to be sedated for their comfort and safety, to prevent clipper nicks.
Most cats tolerate and then enjoy the Anivac Pure Oxygen wash they get. It pulls the dirt out of your catâ??s coat right down to the skin.
Some of the stuff that comes off is really yukky - no wonder the cats are having trouble keeping clean!. The Pure Oxygen shampoo also conditions the skin and removes any yeast infection (called Malassezia - and the equivalent of our dandruff!).
Not every cat can groom itself.
Shedding the extra cat fur means knots and tangles for some of our feline friends. Your cat's little tongue has to do a lot of work to keep all that fur manageable! A warm, massaging wash at the Kitty Day Spa may be just what she needs!
