This video's title mentions grooming and bathing a cat, and gosh darn, that's just what it does. "Holistic companion feline consultant" Pat Kansoer, accompanied by the incredibly patient "Susie," the somewhat more anxious "Whitey," and the real angry "Bogie," discusses equipment and supplies, claw-clipping, ear- and teeth-cleaning, fur-brushing (different techniques for short- and long-haired cats), and bathing and drying. Comprising Volume 1 of the Common Sense Cat Care series, this inexpensive tape is technically satisfactory, although tighter close-ups of the claw, ear, and teeth sections would have strengthened the program. Kansoer is a pleasant, knowledgeable host, and his video would be a fine addition for libraries requiring more material on this topic. Neatly and tidily (are you listening, Bogie?) recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (K. Glaser)
