How often should I take my long-haired cat to have her tush trimmed?

Question

I've had several short-haired cats, and had Sammie, my long-haired cat only a few years. Mostly she is clean and well-groomed, with a little help from me. But we moved from Arizona to Minnesota a couple years ago, and sometimes her winter coat and shedding get to be too much for me to handle. So I finally discovered the joy of taking her to the groomer's - Sammie loves getting brushed, but without help holding her, it is hard to brush all of her tummy. And then I realized I could make life even easier for myself and Sammie by having the groomer trim the long hair around her tush, to help her stay clean and make less mess. I'm sure many long-haired cat-owners know what I mean.

My groomer has up to a 3 week lead time on making appointments, so now that it has been a couple weeks since she got a trim, can anyone clue me in to how soon we will want to go back? I don't want to wait to see how long it takes for the hair to grow back enough to get messy, and then try to make an appt.

Answer 1

it's hard to say I have two long haired cats adn one i only do once a year her hair takes that long to grow back my other one needs to be done every 6-8 weeks her hair grows very fast.
