- The Certified Feline Master Groomer (CFMG) designation indicates real cat expertise

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should cats be professionally groomed?
Long-haired breeds (Persians, Maine Coons, Ragdolls) benefit from professional grooming every 6–8 weeks. Short-haired cats may only need annual grooming or de-shedding treatments.
Does my cat need to be sedated for grooming?
Most cats do not require sedation. A skilled cat groomer uses calm handling techniques. Sedation is a medical procedure done at a vet — not something groomers should do independently.
What's the difference between a cat groomer and a dog groomer?
Cat groomers have specialized training in feline handling, restraint, and stress signals. A dog groomer attempting to groom cats without feline training risks injury to both the cat and themselves.
Should I bathe my cat at home?
Most cats can be spot-cleaned at home. Full baths are stressful for most cats and should be left to trained groomers unless your vet recommends otherwise.
