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.

Great idea. I have a scardey cat here! Would love to try this on her.
November 24th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
What an excellent invention! !!! I need one!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Sounds like a winner!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:22 pm
excellent! i don’t know if that will make my Monkey hate grooming any less, but it will make it safer. he definitely has cat butt grooming issues.
November 24th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
George seems to love all things pink. This could really help his fluffy britches! Yes please!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
What a great product line! We don’t need any fur-clipping here, but if we did, those would definitely be the tools I’d use.
November 24th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
This is such a good idea! I could really use these for keeping my furry pantsed friend trimmed
November 24th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
Wow this would be amazing. I have a maine coon that we have thought about sending to the groomers but she is so afraid she even pees herself when we just take her to the pet store. Also I dont really want to shave her at home because her coat is beautiful just way out of control. This would be perfect for grooming her at home as it would help me to cut her hair to a good length without completely terrorizing her.
November 24th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
Deja my longhair is most definitely a scaredy cat. These would work so well on him!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:30 pm
What a great idea! I’d love to try it on Snufkin’s long, silky fur that tends to snag.
November 24th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
Wow, wonderful product. Someone had a great idea. I definitely need this. Thanks!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
what a great product. This would have been great for my Polis cat when she was alive, it would also be great for my Buster cat. He hates clippers and groomers….
November 24th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
Ouch!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
what a great idea!!!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
that’s amazing!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
This is a great giveaway…thank you.
November 24th, 2010 at 12:36 pm
I will be getting this! after the last time we tried to trim up my poor kitty, i will deff be buying this no more fears of accidentally hurting him!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:38 pm
What a great idea. I agree with Julia that this would be great for my Gizmo and his needed “hygienic” trim. Also, I work at a pet store and I will definitely mention this to the purchasing manager!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:40 pm
My cat is afraid of being BRUSHED. This would be perfect for preventing the hairballs she hacks up all the time.
November 24th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
This is amazing! I’ve been looking for silent grooming tools for a long time! Mark Twain could totally use a trim with these!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
What a terrific idea!! I have a longhaired cat that insists on living outside. Her fur gets matted, but she is terrified of the electric trimmers. I’ve tried using regular scissors, but it’s a slow and stressful process – I’m so terrified that I’m going to nick her (has happened twice :-C). This is the solution to my problem!!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
This is a nifty innovation. Making pet safety a priority in a grooming product is a wonderful thing to fin din new products.
November 24th, 2010 at 12:43 pm
We have got to try this on our Siberians after bathtime. I hate usinging my “good” sewing scissors on their long hair, but I gotta do the bloomers!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
This would be perfect for my Himalayan! Going to the groomer is traumatizing for him!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
That seems to be a really intelligent grooming product !
November 24th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
happy groomed kitty!!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
I wish I had thought of that! What a nifty idea!
November 24th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
that is one fine machinery! would do great for my Porto!
November 24th, 2010 at 1:00 pm
Wow this looks so much easier then trying to use just hair scissors! I have a super fluffy cat that keeps getting knotted. He’s been trusting me more and more with the scissors but this will do wonders to keep him from getting knotted!
November 24th, 2010 at 1:06 pm
This is pretty ingenious!
November 24th, 2010 at 1:07 pm
The other reason these are great is for wiggly kitties who won’t hold still.
November 24th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
This would be interesting to try with my cat.
November 24th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
How cute and it’s pink! Everything needs to be in pink these days.
November 24th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
What a great idea, and safe for the kitty too!
November 24th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
What a fantastic idea! I’ve got a couple of “woolly britches” ladies myself, although I’ve always said they’re wearing culottes. I’m sure that with the wet season coming up, I’ll have muddy butt-prints all over the place unless they get some assistance.
November 24th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
This is genius! I would love to try out a pair.
November 24th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
I love it! Can’t wait to try one out
November 24th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
I’m more afraid to cut a snag out of my cats hair than I ever was to cut my newborns fingernails! This system looks PERFECT! (For the cat, not the kid!)
November 24th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
i love such smart inventions!
November 24th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
My kitties haven’t needed help with grooming or a trim yet, but I’m sure the day will come. This is awesome! Maggie (above), I feel for ya! We use to have a Persian that needed help, too!

OMG I really could use this for all my pets It looks perfect!
November 24th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
I could sure use this! I don’t have a scaredy cat, I have four.
November 24th, 2010 at 1:51 pm
I think the Grumpy Old Man would much prefer this to the ride to the groomer. What a great idea!
November 24th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
I am petrified of grooming my cat. Maybe this might not make it so bad.
November 24th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Finally a safe & pretty way to trim the skittish fluffy kitties!
November 24th, 2010 at 2:01 pm
What a great idea.
November 24th, 2010 at 2:01 pm
Mr. Boots would love it if I got this for him, since it’s a little tough for him to reach his, ahem, rear for grooming. Sarah the Diva Princess would probably appreciate a little TLC from it as well. Donovan, well, being a short-haired tabby, he probably wouldn’t care one way or the other!
November 24th, 2010 at 2:01 pm
not only would these help with my wild child cat etta, her bother the dog would benefit too!
November 24th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
What a great idea. This would reduce the stress to both me and my cats.

I too have a long haired kitty, and we have a need for Scaredy Cut in this house. I can vacuum her without to much trouble, but only allowed top + sides.
