Instructions

    • 1

      Rub your cat in a petting motion to make her comfortable.

    • 2

      Turn the clippers on and let the cat get used to the vibration and humming sound.

    • 3

      Read the style guide if one comes with your animal clippers. At the very least read the instructions on how to use the accessories.

    • 4

      Placate your cat-let the cat tell you how she feels. Your cat can make this a difficult or easy cut.

    • 5

      Push the plastic clip on the razor that is for long hair. The first round of shaving will be to get the excessive hair off.

    • 6

      Retrieve the next plastic clip and after you brush the hair from the clipper blade, attach it.

      Listen to your cat-keep the experience comfortable for both of you. If the cat is shredding you to pieces, you need to stop immediately.
