Some of the things that can affect this include.
Also you want to reward her every time after you finish grooming.

Massage her with one part cat shampoo to five parts water in the direction of her fur growth and avoiding her face ears and eyes.
First of all it can be helpful to have an idea of why your cat is so against being groomed.
Having had a bad experience with grooming in the past.

Soon she will realize that brushing is a positive experience.
Gently place some cotton in her ears to keep the water out.

Give your cat a good brushing to remove any loose hair and mats.
Place a rubber bath mat in the sink or tub where youll be bathing your kitty so she doesnt slip.
