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.

My long-haired kitty sure could use this!
November 25th, 2010 at 6:38 pm
I need this! This is great!

How wonderful what a lovely safe way to trim a snarl without upseting your baby.
November 25th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
My Lucifurr is the scaredy cat and needs this!!!
November 25th, 2010 at 7:05 pm
I have 5 cats. But one could really use this. I can not get rid of all the matted hair on him. Especially on his belly.
November 25th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
This would be great for my cat! Please count me in too ~
November 25th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
Looking for ward to trying these.
November 25th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
My little fraidy cat would love this
November 25th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
such a smart idea. i’m always so scared to use regular grooming scissors. i would definitely give this a try.
November 25th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
This is a great idea. I have always wanted to clip some of my kitty’s hair but was always worried about cutting her.
November 26th, 2010 at 1:13 am
My Coco is scared of everything – she is scared of pieces of clothing lying on the floor, not to mention the trimmer. She has long, wooly hair and hates grooming, so her hair is constantly matted, especially on the back of her thighs.
Scaredy Cut seems like a great solution for her grooming problems!
November 26th, 2010 at 1:19 am
I could sure use this!
November 26th, 2010 at 2:47 am
Oh man! this is such an awesome and nifty invention! Im sure my kits would love it..
November 26th, 2010 at 4:11 am
This is the product I’ve been waiting for a long time. I need this so bad!!
November 26th, 2010 at 4:51 am
This is awesome, my long-haired feline friend, Mona, could really use this. She is a prime example of a “scaredy cat.” [:
November 26th, 2010 at 5:14 am
I would LOVE to win the Scaredy Cut, because I hate being groomed and I don’t like the electric trimmer either. That would be perfect forthe mats on my belly.

what a great idea. I think I am more scared approaching the cats with scissors than they are.
November 26th, 2010 at 7:52 am
My twenty year old long-haired torty no longer grooms like she used to. This looks like something we both could use.
November 26th, 2010 at 9:22 am
This kit is a dream come true. I have 5 long hair kitties and this would get alot of use in my household!
November 26th, 2010 at 9:56 am
Finally, a way to help my cats, without terrifying them (and me!!) when they need a little assistance.
November 26th, 2010 at 10:47 am
This is perfect for my long hair one which scary of every electronic motor sounds!
November 26th, 2010 at 11:33 am
omg, this is certainly the solution of problems with my hair thrown out the house. 2 furry cats its not easy
November 26th, 2010 at 11:42 am
My kitty has to have his “tail feathers” trimmed to keep litter from sticking to them. He is afraid of the buzzer and I am afraid of cutting him. This is the perfect solution!
November 26th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
I have four cats but the fifteen year old has the problem with mats. I have tried so many things that have not worked with her. I would love to try this and let all my cat loving friends know.
November 26th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
Wow! I have two long-hairs and I usually groom by just hacking at the fur with scissors. The result is something like the after-effects of a drunk gardener going after the cat with a weed-whacker. This would make that so much better!
November 26th, 2010 at 1:30 pm
I will love to have this for my 2 cats!
November 26th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
I’d love this for our two longhairs!
November 26th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
My poor boy is in desparate need of this tool!! It sounds like a life saver!
November 26th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
These could be great for my Norwegian Forrest Cat….Uhmmm wonder how well they work? Experience anyone?
November 26th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
What a nifty idea! Our cats are long haired and we have to keep them groomed on a regular basis. Miss Gracie, in particular, would love an alternative to the electric clippers – especially on her “tail feathers”.
November 26th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
This looks great for my 21 year old long-haired kitty! She needs more help with grooming as she’s getting older.
November 26th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
omg, I sooo need one of these. I am so over trying to cut out butt dreads with regular scissors!
November 26th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
Wow, this is a fantastic idea! We have one semi-feral sweetie who is long-haired and has trouble feeling safe long enough to be brushed, she’d never be able to stand a shaver which makes snarls a major effort. What a great solution!
November 26th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
My long-haired feral-born cat still freaks out when people walk toward her too vigorously, much less while carrying scissors. It’d be nice to convince her they aren’t totally evil.
November 26th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
This will make it easier to trim a Maine Coon’s delicate parts since kitty litter seems to stick to it.
November 26th, 2010 at 6:34 pm
This would be perfect for my girl cat. She’s long hair, and always getting matted. Terrified of getting groomed, this would be much less stressful!
November 26th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
This is just what I need for my foster cat! She’s a bit overweight at the moment and can’t quite reach all the way around to groom her britches, though she does give it her best effort
So glad to know this exists!
November 26th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
What a great idea! For certain members of my household who are not known for their clean furry-pants, I would love this. You know how we detest kling-ons!
November 26th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
I could certainly use this on my babies!!!
November 26th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
Wow whoever created this set is both smart and compassionate towards cats.
November 26th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
This would be perfect for 2 of my long-haired cats. They get matted fur under their paws or behind their hind legs, which is very hard to cut or clip.
November 26th, 2010 at 11:05 pm
What a practical, safe idea.
November 26th, 2010 at 11:22 pm
These will definitely be on my Christmas list. I am also going to suggest that we purchase a set of these for the local shelter.
November 27th, 2010 at 12:24 am
I just shaved my poor cat & she looks naked! This is just what we need!
November 27th, 2010 at 9:08 am
This product is a fabulous idea for nervous kitties and dogs!
November 27th, 2010 at 9:30 am
My poor medium hair kitty gets horrible mats under her arms and on her chest, no matter how often we brush her– she needs this! This is the best grooming invention for cats EVER!!!!!
November 27th, 2010 at 10:05 am
I would definitely need a set of these for my boy Reginald! His long fur can get so tangled!
November 27th, 2010 at 10:20 am
That would be so perfect to use with my cats! One of my Maine Coons just cannot keep up with his own grooming, but he’s terrified of vacuums, the broom, and especially combs that pull his fur. This would make his grooming so much easier!
November 27th, 2010 at 10:25 am
hmm that may be better than the buzz clippers lol
November 27th, 2010 at 11:24 am
What a great product. Quiet is so good for a little chicken liver purrbabie.
