If you decide to shave your cat at home, being prepared will make the process easier. Collect rubber gloves (to prevent scratching), towels, a brush, treats, appropriate clippers, and a #10 blade.You can purchase a pet hair clipper from your local pet store or online. Be sure to purchase a tool designed for small animals rather than for humans. Do not use a razor blade. Shaving your cat on your own would be very difficult. It is best to find someone who can hold the cat while you shave your pet. Try to find someone who already knows your cat, like your partner, child, or close neighbor. Your cat will trust these people more than a stranger.  Train your cat to associate grooming with positive things like petting and rewards. Show her the tools you will use and then give her a treat, praise or pet her. When starting a grooming session, have your helper pet the cat first on the grooming table so that your cat becomes calm. After your cat is purring, have your helper gently hold the cat in place with two hands. There might be moments, like when you are working in the tail area, when your helper will need to hold the cat in her arms. Decide where you want to shave your cat. There likely will be hair all over, so keep that in mind. Aim for a site with tile or wood flooring rather than carpet. A kitchen or bathroom would work well. Shaving your cat in a familiar environment can help keep your cat calm. Find a table that you can use where you can place your cat. Pick a table that you don't mind accidentally being scratched or made dirty. It is a good idea to clean your cat’s hair before shaving her. Brushing your cat’s hair will remove dirt, spread natural oils throughout her coat, prevent tangles, and keep her skin clean and irritant-free.  If your cat has short hair, you only need to brush her once a week. If she has long hair, you should brush her every week. To brush your cat, follow these steps:  Use a metal comb. Comb her fur from head to tail. Start with her belly and legs. Be gentle near her chest and belly areas. Untangle any knots. Use a bristle or rubber brush to remove dead and loose hair. Brush her in an upward motion. Brush her tail by parting it down the middle and brushing the fur to either side. There are multiple ways to shave your cat. It is best to have a plan in mind before beginning to shave your cat. Consider the reasons (e.g. hygiene, age, hair length, etc.) for shaving your cat before choosing a style.  The sanitary or hygiene cut frees the anus area for easier cleaning. The belly shave removes hair on the belly where matting often occurs. The comb cut removes some but not all hair and essentially thins the hair. It is effective for reducing shedding. A popular grooming style that reduces shedding is the lion cut.  With the lion cut, your cat retains hair on her face but loses the rest of her hair.
