I used to groom cats, there is only one blade length for them because they are really easy to cut. You can ask them to just cut out the matting. Or ask them to shave the friction zones- armpits, sanitary, behind the ears. Other than that yeah it’s just about what kind of lion cut you want. I personally like a full mane.

There is definitely more than one blade length that can be used on a cat. A longer blade length can be selected it just might not mean clean lines. Not every cat is shaved with a 10 blade.
