Learning Outcomes and Application | This Unit is applicable to those working in the companion animal industry sector where cat specific grooming services are provided. Domestic cats are not identified in this Unit as a breed or classification even though they may compete in cat fancy competitions. However their care and styling management will relate to the various coat types identified in cat breeds in Australia. Clipping of cats is usually performed as a hygiene and comfort procedure rather than for establishing and maintaining cat breed characteristics so clipping techniques in this Unit (apart from breed specific trimming) generally relates to clipping of cats to restore matted coats or to reduce the risk of matting and skin conditions that could impact on cat health and mobility. In addition to legal and ethical responsibilities, all Units of Competency in ACM10 Animal Care and Management Training Package have the requirements for animals to be handled gently and calmly. The individual is required to exhibit appropriate care for animals so that stress and discomfort is minimised. | ||
