Danelle German is passionate about achieving extraordinary results when grooming felines.

When she got her first cat years ago, it was a Persian. A well-bred Persian. Being competitive by nature, Danelle entered the world of cat shows in the late 90's. During her show career, she produced and showed many National and Regional Award Winning Persians. She retired from showing to focus on her feline-exclusive businesses.

Danelle is a true pioneer in the field of feline grooming. She speaks on all topics related to cat grooming and behavior. Her popular cat seminars can be found at grooming trade shows in the United States and abroad. In addition, she regularly conducts hands-on workshops around the globe.

Danelle feels this point is important. If she is going to be teaching show standard grooming on felines around the world, she must measure up to those standards herself. She has come out of "cat show" retirement three time since 2005. Being competitive ensures she stays current to the latest trends, tools, and techniques in her field.

In this video, Danelle works with her latest Persian, "Trazarra I've Been Traveling" or "Ivy." This adorable kitten will become the latest working cat within Danelle's feline businesses. Ivy comes all the way from Wendy Mieglitz of Trazarra Cattery from Victoria, Australia.

In this lesson, she takes you through the key steps needed to prepare a cat for the show ring. The end result is a glorious coat. It floats around the body of this beautiful kitten.

With the proper tools and techniques, you will be able to get similar results. It could be a show cat or beloved family pet. The results can be similar. Danelle will show you the steps you need to take to get fabulous results on any full-coated feline.
