Talk to Your Cat
From City Kitty's September 2011 Newsletter
A lot of people might view you as a crazy cat person if they see you talking to your cat, but trust me, you are OK. Cats understand a lot more than we give them credit for. As humans our thinking and comprehension is limited by language. When we were children we had the ability to communicate with animals in a very spiritual way. Through social conditioning and language this recedes, but it is still there if we know how to tap into it. Read more.

Articles about City Kitty Grooming
"Cat Grooming" is an article by Adrienne Kawamura featured in the July/Aug 2010 edition of Groomer to Groomer (pp. 21-23). Excerpt from the article:
"...A cat will work hard to get you to do what they want you to do and this does not always include grooming. This is especially true if this cat has never been groomed before.
So how do we convince the king of the jungle to do what we want? ...we need to create an inviting environment for them. In our salon it is very quiet."
