Scissors and Cat

posted by [personal profile] eftychia at 05:17pm on 2007-03-11 under ,

*sigh* I had to lop off another chunk of cat again; this time she does look a little lopsided. It always seems to be in the same general area, on the left side of her neck, that the knots/mats form. She was flinching when I touched that spot; let's see whether removing the knot makes her more comfortable.

Fortunately Perrine likes the grooming brush enough (as long as I let her control how it's applied) that letting her rub against it was a sufficient treat to undo her annoyance at me for holding her down and trying to isolate the knot to snip off.

Just shave the cat and you won't have these sorts of problems.

perhaps you should check the skin near/under the spot that gets matted often. She might have a skin disorder that keeps her twiddling that area, and moving hair does cause it to mat.

You could get one of those mat combs that have tines that act as blades to cut apart mats.
The ends are blunt, so they don't cut skin, but they work a treat for dematting fussy cats.
