At first, Lola was worried about what's gonna happen there, until she realized there was no threat for her at all. Then she got used to it - as you can see in the photos, she's patiently laying down, while waiting for her favorite furstylist to be done...
Unlike dog grooming, she's completely free and untied during this process and I hold her just for grooming her belly. To avoid stress, no bathing or shampooing was/is performed. Also, she's not sedated.
Lola always seems very happy after the furcut, so I believe it's a relief for her. Also, we alter between shorter summer and longer winter cut 😄
Actually, there are not a lot of knots, as she goes to the furdresser early enough, before (serious) knots are starting to form. Although in this photos might look like her fur is knotted, it's not.
And such a short cut is usual for Persian cats (for those that don't allow to be combed at home), because it prevents developing knots, so this is the only way their skin stays healthy.
I've had Persian cats all my life, and all of them like(d) combing their fur, except Lola. At home, she becomes a wild animal when she only sees a comb or a brush, but at the furdresser she's unbelievably nice and polite. And she looks like a cute, little lamb afterwards 🐱💗😊
Ok, then here are just a few photos for you 😉

She must get a lot of knots for you to get her fur sheared. Now she looks like Cinderella. :-)

Is in it the way, they behave with strangers like furgroomers and vets.
