Question about my cat.

Post by Megatron »

I found this persian cat today roaming around the forest around the back of my house, so I decided ot feed it and it followed me into my house. All it's hair's messy though and in knots and it probably has fleas so I've decided to cut off all it's hair.

I've tried scissors but it's taking to long, so here's the question:

Go to a place that will clean and groom your pet. I don't think vets give pets haircuts.

I'll post some funny pictures of it afterwards.

I think vets do give cats hair-cuts if it's all sticking up and clumbed together and if they have fleas.

Just shave the puss by using an electric razor. They will do virtually the same thing at the vets place but will charge you 10$ for it.

how does a flea collar grab you? or what about a fleashampoo... that would also clean it's hair...

If you got lice... and your hair is a bit tangled up... do you immidiately shave it off too?

this post has been devoted to procedures regarding the curing of a CAT suffering a bad hair week.
Cats dont equal people so you shouldnt compare this situation to its human counterpart. Humans infested by flees should get much differnent treatement from cats experiencing the very same thing.

Huh? Scissors? This is a CAT!
I really don't think it would appreciate being hacked with scissors. Unless its mangy and scabious i would recommend a flea shampoo, a fur comb, and flea collar and next time remember CATS DON'T TAKE KINDLY TO SHAVING! :roll:

Electric razor in the way to go. Just don't forget to wear a crash helmet and chain mail gauntlets.....cats REALLY don't like being shaved!

well...cat's do have a hearing that's up to 10 times more sensitive than ours, and electric razors DO make a hell of a lot of noise, so maybe this isnt such a good idea after all.
I'd say you should apply to the nearest vet whereas they are specialized in treating pet's such as your cat and thus will know what to do best.
