I don’t even groom cats and I enjoyed this webinar!!! It’s always so satisfying to see a skilled cat groomer work their magic on these guys, and Grace is definitely a pro at that! I love that she explained all the little things you can do to make cats as comfortable as possible for their grooming. Leo was such a good kitty and sooooo shiny at the end 😍

Leo was a fabulous model, he must love the spotlight. I appreciated the tips Grace gave along the way during this webinar. It might seem like common sense to some but being inexperienced with cats, I really enjoyed it.
