We would liked to get our Maine Coon, Oliver, washed and trimmed. Any suggestions or experiences?

You could train him or her to wash themselves.

We pretty much get the same results when we leave the toilet seat up!

I take my cats to the Village Vet but most vets will not groom a cat unless you become a client plus they anesthetize which is the pricey part of the bill. To have a cat groomed (I have mine shaved down to a lion's cut) cost me over $150 because they toss in blood work, exam and lots of other little charges.

I tried washing a cat once.

Get any hair on your tongue or any hairballs?

Gosh, I hope my cat doesn't read this thread. She is a beautiful Himalyan, still stunning at age 19. I brush her daily, but the poor kitty has never been to a Spa.
