Some people say cats never have to be bathed. These are not people with a show cat.
A good hair dryer is probably the single most expensive grooming tool you will ever purchase for your cats. Before you buy, learn how to choose the right type of dryer for your cat's needs.
Piet Broeders of Wooly Home Persians cattery shares the story of how he designed and created a drying cabin for his show cats, as well as scratching posts, multi-level cages and litter boxes.

Whether a pet kitten or a show star, every cat should be accustomed to being groomed, including having a bath and being blown dry. Most cats tolerate the use of a hair dryer with a little practice.
