I used to date a dude with a persian cat that we would get groomed here. They're great with animals, and the cat never seemed to mind their bathing and shaving of him (I stayed and watched once). That said, if your cat or dog is getting a lion cut here, before sure to ask that they don't make it too short, or they will go right to the skin -- the persian cat seemed mighty embarassed about this for a few days.
