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.

Clever idea. Handy, too. I would find it useful and safer than what I have used in the past.

My Marlee is always getting matts. She is not a scardy cat but is not a nice girl at the vet, so having something like this would be great.

Harry actually cried real tears when I took him for a much needed grooming. I never want to see that again and would love to try this product.
November 24th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
I would love to win this because I recently trimmed my mothers rescue Poodle Honey & while I was groomin Honey she tossed and turned also snapped and growed at me and her fur looks terrible, she is a MAJOR ScareY Dog. I would like to fix her before Christmas.
November 24th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Love this! My longhair has started developing tons of furballs and I’m always afraid I’m going to cut her when I clip them.
November 24th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
ooh!
November 24th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
My Coco Chanel could use this. She absolutely hates grooming time. So bad, she attacks the dogs, LOL!!
November 24th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
Great idea
November 24th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
What a great idea. I have Siberians – who sometimes fall prone to mats! This would simplify my life and that of my beauties!
November 24th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
very innovative product!
November 24th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Oh my goodness, this looks perfect for my long haired feral rescues. The mates are horrible to remove with a clipper on them due to the noise. This product would save me lots of blood loss. LOL But true. If this works I will be the first to post it on my blog page and share with my fellow rescue friends. Awesome I even love the color. Please please pick me.

My older cat is starting to have trouble grooming and is getting mats but I have been afraid to trim him for fear of nicking the skin. This is a great idea!
November 24th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
We have 9 cats. This would be great.

It’s smart!!!
November 24th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
Wow, this is quite a clever idea! I have some furry fuzzy kitties who would really appreciate it.
November 24th, 2010 at 6:26 pm
What a wonderful idea! This looks like one handy gadget.
November 24th, 2010 at 6:31 pm
I need this for Teva. She has big problems in the britches!
November 24th, 2010 at 6:33 pm
It seems like the cat would’nt know if you were brushing him or cuting his hair. It would make it much less stressful neat idea!
November 24th, 2010 at 6:52 pm
What a great innovation! This would definitely help me groom my cat Cosmo.
November 24th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
What a great idea!! I too have a scaredy cat. Harry is quite the hairy kitty and his fur always mats when he starts to shed. These would be such a great help keeping Harry less hairy!!
November 24th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
c’est très pratique.
November 24th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
My 3 kitties an all the ones at the shelter would love this and make my job A LOT easier. Great idea!!
November 24th, 2010 at 7:23 pm
This would be wonderful for my senior girl who is hard to groom. She was abandoned and has matted fur on her rear. She is scared of the noise of clippers. Looks like a fabulous product!
November 24th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Oooh, I’m so glad someone has come up with this product. My three long-haired (and somewhat irritable at grooming time) furkids need this, especially with winter coming. Long ruffs, bellies, tails, and ‘cabooses’ will be much easier. I’ve tried using grooming combs and flea combs under scissors, but trying to handle two pieces of equipment is impossibles for me — and annoying for the cats. I’m going to post this on some cat forums; I’ll bet many people will be interested in this great system!
November 24th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
I have two very pretty and fluffy long-haired females. This would be an awesome tool for our home!
November 24th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
Cool trimming kit.
November 24th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
King Leo II is scardey cat all the time. I have tried every type of gadget to groom him but he just always runs away. This seems like a good, simple idea
November 24th, 2010 at 7:54 pm
This would be great for my Caroline & Mimi.
November 24th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Awesome!This looks fantastic! Can’t wait for the results!
November 24th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
This would be great for the tenderskinned, longhaired cats at the shelter where I volunteer.
November 24th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
May dear lady Eugenie endure more peacefully grooming time with this barbie-esque little kit!
November 24th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
WHAT A FABULOUS INVENTION!!! It’s safe, not only for Kitty, but also for me – I’ve been stabbed in the past by an indignant cat and this products wouldn’t even leave a scratch. My Zigster (Ziggy) has an extremely thick coat, and while he doesn’t matt, there are too many times when to his annoyance, his bum is in need of a bit of “housekeeping” help.
November 24th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
Woops… I was so impressed I spelled my name wrong….
November 24th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Would love to try the Scaredy Cut on my two, long-haired felines, Oslo and Persephone.
November 24th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
this is a wonderful idea. I have 3 babies that just go nuts with the trimmer and definitely need help with their furry britches, lol love how you put that, too cute.
November 24th, 2010 at 8:37 pm
This is awesome!!!! I am getting one of these one way or another.
November 24th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
I’d love to try this! I have a long-haired 8-year-old puss whose fur is always snagging and tangling. Combing out the clumps is very painful for her, and I can’t afford to be taking her to the groomer’s all the time. This little tool looks ideal!!
November 24th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
What a purrfect idea. Particularly for the “wooly britches” guys. We have one of those also – what a great description! Thanks for the chuckle.
November 24th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
This would definitely help with my persian and himmy!
November 24th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
I hate subjecting my scaredy cats to the groomer and this would be fantastic…..!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
This is absolutely wonderful. I would not hesitate to groom my cat myself with this product. Too bad they can’t make one for dogs as well and then I wouldn’t have expensive grooming costs at all!
November 24th, 2010 at 9:35 pm
Tigger (the Totally Toothless), now 15+, needs extra help grooming; Bootsie (Her Fluffness to her subjects), now 13+, sometimes doesn’t need a full-out trimming but only some judicious snips. This would be a great help for both kitties and saave them the long-ish drive to the groomer (a.k.a., The Kitty Spa).
November 24th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
What a great way to handle clipping – no noise, no vibrations. My cat would be comfortable with this, and so would I. I would like to win this prize and use it on my cat, and send you a photo of that. Thank you for presenting this product.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
What a brilliant and useful idea!
November 24th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
Pie Pie could use some cat “scaping!”
November 24th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
oh my gosh! this would be wonderful for my bushy guy, Ozzie! What a great invention!
November 24th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
OMG! this product will so come in handy for my cats. trimming/grooming will be much easier & it’s very clever invention & doesn’t take up much space. i’d love to get my hands on these.
November 24th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
These would be great for my long-hair that refuses to groom.
November 24th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Great idea! Need this for my long haired boy.
November 24th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
What an awesome tool! I havw some kitty pants that need to be trimmed and this might do the job
