 Great info for cat lovers who think cats can't be groomed! Oct 17, 1998
By champgn@citnet.com kathy champion
Although I haven't extensively read this book, a copy was shown to me by a cat breeder. I looked up areas that I know are problems for cat owners. My business is grooming cats, and clients always ask the same questions; this book uses many of the techniques that I have used in 9 yrs of grooming cats. nice pictures, too!

 Obviously not a cat person May 31, 2004
I was extremely disappointed when I got this book, especially considering all the high marks from groomers it received. The drawings (no photo references) are generally pointless and unprofessional. The grooming information is weak and the handling info is basically non-existent. From the viewpoint of a cat lover/owner and cat rescue volunteer, the author should stick to dogs. Unfortunately, this appears to be the only cat grooming guide available at the moment. However, I suggest looking into some good cat behavior books (such as "The cat who cried for help" by Dr. Nicholas Dodman (he also wrote a wonderful book on canine behavior, "The dog who loved too much") or "PetSpeak: Share Your Pet's Secret Language" by the editors of Pets) to help with cat handling. Whether you're a pet owner or professional groomer, knowing how the cat is going to react is vital for your's and the cat's safety.

If You want to learn to groom cats - DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! Jan 19, 2010
By Alicia M. Pharo
I've been a professional certified groomer for 5+ years now, and when I was first learning to groom cats I thought I'd buy a grooming guide for quick reference in case I needed it. Well this book is pretty much a joke. The information in it is useless, the pictures of the cats are odd looking, and it does not cover the various handling techniques you need to groom a cat. Do yourself a favor and save your money.

Informative Sep 25, 2007
By Karen
"Heck's Holler"
I bought the book because I'm wanting to groom my own cats and there's nothing else specific on grooming cats. I don't agree with one reviewer's critique on the artwork, it's just as informative as photos, if not more so and if you appreciate art you'll enjoy the humor that the artist expresses. I think the book's information is very good, I'm sure my cats will not enjoy what I'm going to do to them though.
