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.

it’s a grat idea!!

These look awesome. I have a Somali kitten who seems to have chronic issues keeping “stuff” out of his britches and had to take him to a groomer get him a sanitary cut last time because I was too afraid to go at him with scissors and he wouldn’t have anything to do with clippers. He might actually tolerate this though. What a great idea!

I NEED THIS!! I have 3 long haired cats and i was just thinking how i should get them groomed, but i didn’t want to traumatize them with the buzzers that groomers use! they can use some trimming and these would be the PERFECT solution! =D
November 24th, 2010 at 8:30 am
Wow, I sure could have used this on my old cat who made it until 21 but wasn’t grooming himself any more! Had such a hard time dealing with tangles in his short, but thick hair on his frail, thin skin. My current cats aren’t so much scared as they are wiggle-worms! Anything that would protect them against slipping scissors would be helpful.
November 24th, 2010 at 8:30 am
I could totally use one of those!
November 24th, 2010 at 8:31 am
Not only my cats, but I have a feline client that I watch that would adore this. He doesn’t put up with grooming well, but this might just be the answer!
November 24th, 2010 at 8:34 am
My parents could definitely use this! They have a long haired cat that is so scared of everything it takes him five minutes to enter a room because the rug, the people, the TV, the other cats… All make him jump. And forget about having him in a room with a ceiling fan on–not going to happen!
November 24th, 2010 at 8:41 am
Fantastic idea and I do need something like that for my Coonie mix, the long fur at the bottom end gets messy with sticky litter and… well I won’t put you off your lunch
I took him ONCE to the groomers and you could hear him howling all the way through in the next county, so that was it really! I try to do it with regular scissors but I’m so terrified to hurt him I only cut like 1/20 of an inch, which doesn’t help much…
November 24th, 2010 at 8:55 am
Very handy indeed when a kitty needs some grooming. Would be awsome to win this!
November 24th, 2010 at 8:56 am
i need a scaredy cut! not for my scaredy cat, but for scaredy me!! i’m too afraid i’m going to cut someone!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:06 am
What a neat idea!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:08 am
Oh, I think this could work for my super furry cat!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:09 am
Very unique product.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:09 am
This product looks like a purr-fect solution!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:09 am
This would be great for our long-haired cat.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:10 am
Cool low tech solutions like this are sometimes the best. How about something for trimming nails next?
November 24th, 2010 at 9:10 am
Interesting product. Would love to try it!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:10 am
Why hasn’t someone thought of something this ingenious before!! Great idea!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:10 am
Amazing idea, I wish they had it for nail trimmers as well
November 24th, 2010 at 9:10 am
These are awesome. Noodles is the biggest fuzzball and these would certainly help keep him groomed.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:11 am
This looks great! I hope to win.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:11 am
With a long haired dog and 3 long haired cats this would sure come in handy. Right now I’m using fingernail scissors to get matted hair and from between the toes.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:11 am
We absolutely have a scardy cat here! That looks like a great solution for Gemini and her fancy pants!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:11 am
This would be great for my senior long hair tortie. She is nearly 16 and grooming is one of those things which have gotten harder for her to do.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:11 am
Smart product! Would love a set for my little guys!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:11 am
Would so love to have this!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:11 am
Wow, that’s a cool color! My scaredy cat will appreciate this one for sure!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:11 am
Our old timer Jack could always do with a trim and these scissors look ideal
November 24th, 2010 at 9:11 am
Thats awesome!
my newly rescued foster kitty has super long hair that is a disaster from living in an empty apartment for two weeks and desperately needs a good grooming but we dont want to freak out the already skittish kitty anymore than he is, I so need this.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:11 am
The kitties that live in our home would really appreciate this lovely
grooming set and so would we!
Happy Thanksgiving…..

Wow…Tessie could really use this. She’s not a longhair, but she has thick short hair and she isn’t as careful about her after-toilet care as she could be.
This could really help!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:12 am
Love this! Hope I win this time
November 24th, 2010 at 9:12 am
I would love to win this!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:12 am
Great idea.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:12 am
my big fluffy tabby moggy would love this set – he is always getting knotted up! and he is macho enough to pull off the colour pink
November 24th, 2010 at 9:13 am
OMGosh….my Cosmo is inundated with mats. He absolutly hates being groomed. I have resorted to using a seam ripper to cut out one mat at a time. I could sooooo use this!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:13 am
Wow. I need this for Franny my maine coon – last time i tried to get her groomed she tried to attack the poor groomer (who even tried to muzzle her in an attempt to “calm her down”. Of course that just made her angrier!) Last night’s walkabout the house with poo on her furry butt was not the highlight of my evening so this would be a welcome addition.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:14 am
This product is brilliant!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:14 am
These are PAWESOME!!!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:14 am
Brilliant idea! We also have a boy with wooly pantaloons who requires fairly regular trimming. I am always paranoid he might get cut, despite our precautions.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:14 am
How wonderful! I have a kitty who can use some serious assistance grooming her wooly britches — but she begs to differ. I may stand a chance grooming my Annabelle with this product.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:14 am
my two long haired calico’s need this!!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:14 am
What a great invention! My apartment would appreciate me more if I got this for my long hair cat. Hair ball tumbleweeds begone!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:15 am
Brilliant! With four furry kittehs, this idea is great!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:15 am
Nice!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:15 am
I have a long-haired cat who’s afraid of everything, and who also gets the dingleberries. this. oh, this. would be absolutely beautiful.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:15 am
This would be fantastic!!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:15 am
This would be perfect for my very fluffy cat that hates being groomed!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:15 am
Darn. Yet another idea I should’ve come up with! Excellent. I wants for da kitty.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:15 am
This would be great for my Persian. What a great idea.
