How do I shave a cat?

Shaving a cat takes patience. Prepare clippers, scissors, and a towel, then let the cat hear the clipper first.

Gently pet the back, bring the clipper to the skin, and clip slowly, checking often for cuts or bleeding.

If the cat is stressed, stop and let it relax; use scissors for tricky areas. After shaving, rinse with warm water and dry with a towel.
