About Us

Yes, cats do groom themselves by licking. However, licking does not remove the underlayer of grease that builds up on a cat's skin, dead fur, litter debris, fleas, and a variety of other gross things. Grease and fur can build up and eventually cause mats which turns to a pelt or causes skin conditions such as cat acne or stud tail. All of these things can cause discomfort and even pain for your cat. A regular grooming schedule can help your cat stay fresh, healthy, and prevent some medical issues.

While some cats do become unruly when faced with a bath, most cats will actually tolerate water long enough for a bath. After a few regular appointments, they will typically become accustomed to the process. For those cats that are a bit more troublesome, your groomer is trained in handling techniques to ensure that these cats have a successful and cleansing soak!

Older and overweight cats can be bathed and benefit greatly from a regular grooming schedule as well! These cats typically have trouble grooming themselves and maintaining the base level of clean that licking themselves gives. A bath and cut can keep their fur in great shape and help them stay mobile! 

The Cat's Meow Mobile Spa takes extra precautions with special needs cats like seniors and overweight cat to ensure they have a low-stress and refreshing groom. At the beginning of your appointment, we will conduct a thorough consultation of your cat's coat condition, health history, and attitude to determine what type of groom is healthy for your cat. 

Yes! After a shave or cut (such as the lion cut), a cat's fur will grow back. The growth process will typically take a few months with the tail taking the longest time to grow back. How long it takes and the pattern of regrowth of your cat's fur grows back in is determined by their breed, coat type, and any skin conditions they may have. 

Many people are familiar with dog mats and assume cat mats are the same. Cat mats are actually made up of dead hair and grease from the cat's skin. You may feel a tangle in your cat's fur when petting them in certain areas like the belly or armpits, in reality this tangle is actually a mat!  Smaller mats can typically be combed out after a good degreasing bath. Heavy, larger mats typically require shaving.

Pelts are mats that have gotten so large that they have formed a giant mat on the cat's body that MUST be shaved to remove. 

Routine grooming can prevent all of this!

Yes! Kittens that are older than 2 months can receive baths. They can receive Nail Caps at 4 months or older. 

We come to you instead of you dropping off your cat at a salon! An appointment with The Cat's Meow begins with your groomer arriving at your selected location in our spa bus during your appointment timeframe. Your groomer will take your cat (in a carrier as required!) onto the spa bus and perform an intial consultation to determine it's temperament, coat conditions, and grooming needs. Once the consult is complete, the groomer will discuss what grooming options are available for your cat based on their findings and discuss pricing. After that, the groom will take place. Your groomer will contact you once the appointment is complete for pick-up, payment, and the booking of your cat's next spa appointment!
