Facebook groups can be a great place to connect with other cat groomers, but they can also leave you more confused than when you started. One person says only spot shave a cat. Another says never bathe one. Someone else insists every cat should be scruffed... and before long, you're wondering who to believe.

If you've ever wished you could sit down with an experienced cat groomer and have someone explain not just what to do, but why, this seminar was designed for you.

Join Certified Feline Master Groomer and National Cat Groomers Institute Certifier Lynn Paolillo for a practical, four-hour introduction to cat grooming. Drawing on nearly two decades of grooming experience and thousands of cats, Lynn will walk you through the knowledge and decision-making process behind safe, professional cat grooming.

You'll learn how to evaluate cats before grooming, recognize health concerns and behavioral red flags, understand feline body language, and adapt your handling and grooming techniques to the individual cat. Throughout the seminar, demonstrations and case studies help connect the concepts to everyday salon situations.

Whether you're a dog groomer considering adding cats to your services or simply looking for a more structured approach than piecing together advice online, you'll leave with practical skills, greater confidence, and a better understanding of how experienced cat groomers think through each appointment.

During this seminar:

• ✔ Learn how experienced cat groomers assess a cat before grooming even begins
