4. FREE! Cat Parent Workshop: Home Grooming Care for Cats

Sunday, November 10, 2013, 4:00 PM

Cat's Meow Grooming Spa & Boutique, 85 E. Blithedale Ave. 

Did you know grooming is an important way for cats to bond with you and others? Do you want to help your cat look and feel better? We are here to offer you proven methods for maintaining the everyday grooming needs of your feline companions. Safe claw trimming, proper coat combing for optimal deshedding, ear cleaning, skin care, and gentle handling methods will be demonstrated. 

All cats benefit from assisted grooming. We understand it can be challenging to know which tools and products to choose from and how to use them safely and effectively. And once you do have the right equipment, Kitty may not be so eager to cooperate. Join us at Cat's Meow Grooming Spa & Boutique for an informative workshop full of simple and easy to implement techniques for positive home grooming with your cat.
