Cat grooming in Denia: why cats need professional care too
On the Costa Blanca more and more families live with cats, and in cities like Dénia the demand for cat grooming has grown a lot in recent years. Although many people think cats take care of themselves, the reality is different: quite a few suffer from mats, excess dead hair, hairballs and overgrown claws. The result is discomfort, skin problems and an unhappy cat. At Mimi, our dog & cat grooming salon in Dénia we offer a specialised feline grooming service, tailored to each animal and delivered with patience and care.
Why mats are a problem for cats
Mats and tangles are common in long-haired breeds like Persians, Maine Coons, Ragdolls or Siberians. These tangles pull on the skin, cause irritation or wounds and can hide parasites. Matted coat also traps moisture and dirt, creating a perfect environment for bacteria and fungi. At home it’s almost impossible to remove a tight mat without stressing or injuring the cat, so visiting a professional feline groomer in Dénia is the safest option.
Cat haircuts in Dénia: benefits and recommendations
A haircut isn’t just about looks. A professional cat trim helps prevent skin issues, improves hygiene and makes home brushing easier. At Mimi we assess each cat’s coat type and suggest the right frequency — generally every 2–3 months for long-haired cats.
Shedding and hairballs
Another frequent issue is seasonal shedding. Cats lose large amounts of hair and, if it isn’t removed with professional brushing, they ingest it when grooming themselves. This leads to hairballs that can cause vomiting, constipation and even blockages. At Mimi we control shedding with the right tools, reducing risks and keeping your home cleaner.
Feline grooming on the Costa Blanca: a rare service
Unlike most dogs, cats rarely sit still for a trim. Many get nervous, try to escape and may scratch or bite. A cat-savvy groomer must know how to hold the animal safely, work calmly and create a relaxed environment. In our Dénia salon we take the time needed so each session is as stress-free as possible.
