Do you have a scaredy cat at home? One who’s afraid of the vacuum and the mailman? I do, and the thought of getting him groomed is very unpleasant. The clippers used by groomers vibrate, making a noise that is frightening to nervous pets. And using regular scissors is not an option. Did you know that it is very dangerous to use regular scissors on a cat’s fur because their skin is so delicate that when you lift the fur it’s almost impossible not to clip the skin, which could be disastrous.
Well, Scaredy Cut is a new invention that provides a simple solution. This grooming set uses scissors with a clip-on blade to protect delicate skin when trimming kitty’s fur. They sent me a set to try, and I tested it on Mackenzie, my big chicken-butt, and I was thrilled at how well it works! Sometimes Mackenzie needs a little assistance grooming his wooly britches and I was able to use the Scaredy Cut to help him out — without freaking him out. The Scaredy Cut is Mackenzie approved!
The set comes with one pair of scissors with a special comb holder and six plastic clip-on combs ranging from 1/2 inch to 1 inch. These are the same combs used with electric clippers and are designed to glide smoothly through fur while resting on the skin and keeping the blade at a safe distance. It’s easy to see the pink comb in any color fur.
In addition to eliminating the vibration and sound of electric clippers, the Scaredy Cut prevents uncomfortable hair pulling. Even with regular clippers the fur is pulled from one side. With Scaredy Cut, the scissor blades come together from both sides, eliminating pulling.
The Scaredy Cut set comes packaged in a little box with instructions, perfect for holiday gift giving. The set is available from Amazon for $25 with free shipping. Get more information and watch the demo video at www.ScaredyCut.com.

we have a himalayan with a very low stress level – this would be perfect!
November 27th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
This is awesome for both long and shorter haired cats! My Gracie would appreciate the lack of vibration.

This looks like just what I need to trim my Maine Coons’ butt areas. Especially my senior who has arthritis which makes grooming difficult for her.
November 27th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
Wow! I wish I would of found this before I bought the electric clipper that I cannot use on my cats because they are scared of the noise it makes.
November 27th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
I need anything I can get to help my scaredy cat! Any suggestions for clipping claws of scaredy cats?
November 27th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
I am a feline groomer and would love to see how they help us at the feline only vet practice I work for.
November 27th, 2010 at 9:35 pm
What a wonderful idea for all of my cats! I hate to scare them with the sound of the clippers.
November 28th, 2010 at 10:39 am
Nifty! I could really use this for my fuzzy Trixie cat.
November 28th, 2010 at 1:37 pm
WOW! How GREAT is this! Cinnamon & Nutmeg would be the happiest babies in the world if momie used this for there grooming.
November 28th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
These seem great! We would love to trim our cat in the summer because he gets so hot with his long hair, but I know he would absolutely go nuts with an electric trimmer!
November 28th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
My little puffball could use this!
November 28th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
My youngest Maine Coon is more interested in playing than grooming! This tool looks like it might help remove, in a low-stress way, any mats before they get too large.
November 28th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Great idea! I love it!!!
November 28th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
Wow, this looks great. My kitty has IBD, so we like to keep his rear end fur trimmed which helps when he has an episode. This trimmer looks wonderful!
November 28th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
I love it! This would be great for our senior!
November 28th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
I Love it! This would be great for our senior kitty!
November 28th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
My cat Snowball would love to be clipped with these! He gets really frightened with the sound of my electric clippers.
November 29th, 2010 at 1:24 am
This has got to be the most brilliant grooming equipment ever. I’m glad someone’s taken into consideration the fact that cats require grooming/clipping but are scared of the clippers.
November 29th, 2010 at 4:19 am
Both my cats are recovering ferals, and scared of just EVERYthing, but my little girl is a long hair, and this would be wonderful for her bloomers, which sometimes seem very hard for her to groom.

Many of us often wonder about the origin of certain phrases and descriptive terms – but I think most feline owners know first hand how the term “Scaredy Cat” came to be…
Actually we have two kitties and one LOVES to be groomed – a little too much… but the other, the normally more “assertive” male is a true SCAREDY CAT when it comes to any kind of grooming assistance. As he gets a little older and chubbier, he’s starting to need a little more care for his hair/fur… Thanks!
November 29th, 2010 at 8:33 am
What a great looking tool!
November 29th, 2010 at 9:15 am
What a GREAT idea! We have several neuro kitties who would benefit from these!
November 29th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
MY KEI KEI COULD USE A NEW DO!!
November 29th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
I have several scaredy cats and trying to vacumn around them is crazy especially when they climb up the drapes and one gets on top of the door
November 29th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
This would be a God-send for my long-haired cat Timmy!!
November 29th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
Very interesting.
November 29th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
Wow, this is great! Even my cat (who is deaf) always freaks out when grooming, but I believe he will love this product. Mostly I will love this product
November 30th, 2010 at 9:26 am
Oh those are just way too cool!!! I’ve GOT to have those!!!
November 30th, 2010 at 10:39 am
My kitty would love this!
November 30th, 2010 at 11:59 am
My friend’s two Maine Coons would really benefit from this. What a great idea!
November 30th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
Ooh…….I could use these on my kitties with pantaloons and some of my sittings……
November 30th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Those look very handy for longer hair breeds.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
How neat! Would love to try this on my scaredy cats!
November 30th, 2010 at 9:54 pm
What a clever product! This would be great for my two kitties. =)
November 30th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
Somehow we ended up with mainly longhair cats in our rescue. These scissors might really do the trick!
December 1st, 2010 at 6:01 am
I have a Himalayan…nuff said. This would be great!
December 1st, 2010 at 11:42 am
I need this for my Ragdoll, Muffin. He told me he would let me use this…lol
December 1st, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Wow, I need these for my long-haired cats!
December 1st, 2010 at 8:54 pm
awe I guess I missed this one.
Would of come in handy though.
December 2nd, 2010 at 12:05 am
I wish I’d known about this earlier this week, I nicked one of my kitties trimming a mat ;(. Thank you so much for letting us know about this!
December 8th, 2010 at 12:15 am
This would be great for the cats at our local shelter. Great idea!
December 25th, 2010 at 11:14 am
I too have a “scaredy cat” and would love to have something to groom him with that will not traumatize my poor baby! This seems like the ideal grooming system. I’m sure I as well as many other cat owners will enjoy using this tool to groom their pets without trauma. I have thought of taking him to the groomer, but alas, I am sure the experience would give him major trauma and after all, who wants to give their kitty a heart attack!! I know of a great rescue shelter that could use one too!!
March 8th, 2011 at 2:52 pm
I saw this perfect tool for cats, but since I have a small dog (teacup yorkie) who is afraid of everything this would be perfect.
September 9th, 2011 at 8:42 pm
This looks amazing. My cat is a long haired terror and I’d love to be able clip her wooly pants at home:)
April 26th, 2012 at 12:34 pm
what a great idea! my long-haired boy gets mats so easily, and he hates being brushed, it pulls on his fur and he runs away in seconds. i had him shaved once but the mats came back even while his fur was still growing out. in MN shaving him year round isn’t an option!
May 30th, 2012 at 9:26 am
PURFFFFECT SOLUTION! I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ONE!
August 31st, 2012 at 5:18 pm
I had one from Amazon.com
Its useful life I experienced was one long-hair cat cut then that it! After the cutting, my barely long-haired cat look like a curly-haired cat, which was very funny and cute looking.
September 26th, 2012 at 6:51 pm
id love to have one would come in handy when i go to grooming academy
