Can this clipper also be used for occasional pet trims (Maine Coon Cat)?

I don't think it is a good idea to use for pet trimming, this clipper is good for short and close hair only, very quiet and smooth but if you are looking for a powerful one this is NOT the the right one for you. It is not hurt to try on your pet hair once.

Hello Amazon customer, we get this question a lot. The Wahl '5 in 1' blade sets are actually great for cat grooming and they come on all of our Arco units (Bravura and Chromado also!) Our Professional Cat Groomer Danelle German has said the following: "The 5 in 1 blades are the bomb on cats! Especially for doing leg lines and such; it's unbeatable!" Danelle grooms many types of cats with different coat types and swears by the 5 in 1 blade sets, so we think the Arco would be a great choice for you! If you are not satisfied with it for any reason you may return it and/or call 1-800-PRO-WAHL! Best of luck to you and thank you for your question!

As far as I can tell, though I use them for a cat, these clippers are usable for all breeds and all sizes.

This is a pretty large clipper made for dogs. I would look for one made especially for cats if I were you.

It handles Dog hair very well. I would think that cat hair would be no problem. You do have to clean it after each use.

Yes - in short. We use this on our Siamese, which has medium/short hair, and sheds like crazy. Works very well, even though, I would imagine, it would work even better on longer hair. The bristles are not too firm or long for short hair, and would be best suited for removing excess fur. The only thing I would suggest on very short haired cats is too be gentle with the brush. The bristles are not coated or tipped, so could scratch with firm use.I love this product, and my cat loves it too.

If you don't have a skittish cat yes. The clippers are loud and it freaks my dog out. It cuts good though. Blades don't last very long on my dog but over all I like the clippers.I have never trimmed a cat so GOOD LUCK LOL!!

I don't know for sure since I only use it to cut my hair. I would imagine that you can use it to trim your beard by using different size attachments that come with the clipper.

Yes. You won't have any problems whatsoever. Buy the no# 10 blade. I love this trimmer. Perfect for my cat and my two dogs.

I would be surprised if this was sufficient for shaving. I have long hair maine coon cats, of which a few need occasional shave downs despite all my daily grooming. I do have to use a prescription sedative from my vet in order to calm them down beforehand. Its better for them and for you. They won't be so scared of the shaver or scissors. Periodically my husband do butt trims only and with the two of us, one speaking sweetly to them and holding them in position, we can get by without sedation of any kind. It only takes 5 minutes.

I would think you would be looking for comb for your cat rather than this hair trimmer unless you are trying to shave the cat. Hope that helps.

i use these nail clippers for my cats and the clippers are wonderful. I have been told that for a dog you have to be more careful in cutting the nails because if you do cut the nails too short they can bleed and you would not want to do that. My best advise to you is to speak to your veterinarian about how short you should cut your dog's nails.

I have a long hair Maine Coon and purchased the large one and it works great! I would buy this same one over again if necessary. It works great on my cat and I know you would like it for yours! If you have any other questions, please let me know.

I have a hymalayan cat and it works great on her. It is noisy, like a typical clipper. The blade did get hot, so you'll have to use the attachments so the heat doesn't bother her. Otherwise, it works fantastic.

I would suppose if you were shearing sheep with it that may be correct. While the blades do get warm, my son gives me a hair-cut with it every couple of weeks and it works fabulously. I used to use it on our cat but he passed away and we cleaned the clipper up and now use it personally. Just remember to oil the blades per the instructions. It is by far the best clipper we have ever used, first on our cat and now on me. Hope this helps.

In the commericals, they use the product on both cats and dogs. I think yyou would be fine to trim a cat. The guard is set kinda large for the average cat, so you'll have to be careful not to over trim their nails. Other than that...

I use it on my mini schnauzer and it works fine. Never shaved a cat, so I can't say if you would have good results.
