Frequently Asked Questions about Cat Hair Clippers & Shears

How do I safely remove mats from my cat's fur?

You can safely remove mats from your cat's fur by carefully brushing them out or clipping them carefully using cat hair shears or a mat remover made specifically for this purpose. For extensive matting, you may need to shave the mats out using cat hair clippers. Consult an experienced groomer or your vet on how to safely remove mats and to learn how to properly use cat hair clippers and shears.

Do I need to cut my cat's hair?

You may sometimes need to cut your cat's hair to remove serious mats that cannot be removed by brushing. You may also need to occasionally trim your cat if she has very long hair or is having trouble keeping herself properly groomed. For best results, seek the advice of a professional groomer or vet on when and how to safely trim your cat's hair. Most cats don't need any hair trimming at all, so always ask your vet before you cut!

What kind of clippers can you use on a cat?

You can use cat hair clippers on a cat, but never use grooming implements made for humans. Clippers made for people can trim too closely, pull hair or cause nicks and cuts, and they may be prone to overheating, too. Clippers made for cats are usually quieter, with a guard and blades made specifically for fur. Cat hair trimmers are designed to provide a safe and effective trim and they can help keep cats more relaxed during cuts, too.
