Cat Grooming for Tangled Coats, Long Nails, and Big Attitudes
At Becky’s Cat Services in Placerville, CA, we know grooming cats takes more than a brush and bravery. It takes patience, technique, and a space designed just for felines. We’re the only groomer in our co-op that works solely with cats, and we’ve built our reputation on making even the most dramatic kitties look and feel their best. Whether you’ve got a fluffball, a grump, or a full-blown diva, we’re ready.
When Grooming Your Cat Feels Impossible
You bought the fancy brushes. You’ve watched the videos. You’ve even tried bribing them with treats. But some cats just aren’t having it. And honestly, that’s okay.
Long-haired breeds tangle quickly. Older cats can’t reach every spot. Some simply never learned to tolerate handling. If your cat growls at nail trimmers, hides at the sight of a brush, or acts like you’ve betrayed them every time you pick them up, you’re not alone.
Home grooming doesn’t work for every cat—and when it doesn’t, the issues start to pile up.
Skipping Cat Grooming Leads to Bigger Problems
Ignoring grooming isn’t just a cosmetic issue. Matted fur can trap moisture and dirt, leading to skin infections and painful sores. Overgrown nails might curve into paw pads, causing limping or injury. Cats with dirty ears or greasy coats are often dealing with deeper health problems.
And let’s not forget the emotional toll. Cats stressed by discomfort might hide, stop eating, or become aggressive. The longer you wait, the harder it gets to resolve. DIY attempts can make your cat even more fearful, especially if they associate grooming with discomfort or restraint.
Avoid the drama. Let trained, cat-only professionals handle it the right way.

Special Needs and Fractious Cat Grooming
Got a cat that’s been turned away from other groomers? We want to hear from you. We work with anxious cats, aggressive cats, and cats with medical needs. If your pet has a condition that requires extra care, we’ll consult with you—and your vet if needed—before creating a grooming plan.
Some cats require more time, and some require less restraint. Our team adjusts our approach to fit your cat—not the other way around.
We also have a special quarantine space available for cats with immune sensitivities or medical concerns. This service must be pre-approved by your veterinarian before scheduling.
