Clipping a cat at home.

[Pinot's Mom]

Got done clipping Erp's knots out with out any bloodshed from either side.

Thanks for the tips and encouragements everyone.

Even though Erp is a very mellow cat I did envision this being a big deal even though it was a small area, she has again shown she is a very forgiving, mellow cat.

Blue, that second picture is priceless....my Mother had a saying when she was alive that she used QUITE often, and I think it fits here...

"We won't do THAT again!"

"We won't do THAT again!"

We might very well be seeing that look of anoyance soon.

What a beautiful cat! Erp, you are magnificent!

When Smudge got mats, I just used scissors, but now that he's on a skin & coat supplement he doesn't get them any more. And he certainly doesn't object to having what's essentially a huge dollop of fish oil mixed into his food anyway.

Love, Columbine

What supplements are you giving Smudge?

I clipped most of Erps mats out tonight, she wont be going outside anytime soon. I dont have pics because I dont have batteries for my camera.

Well at least you only had to do a little clipping.

When I rescued Ozzy last spring he had to be shaved. They called it a lion cut at the vets.

Poor guy probably felt so naked. Now he's just a fuzzy dude. Pics below, the one is shortly after we took him in from the outside world.

What supplements are you giving Smudge?

He gets Omega-Caps - very easy to administer, as it's fish oil! I just put it in his canned food. It's his Special Sauce.

You know that clipping a cat is a -i-teen yard penalty in the N-L!

Erp got clipped again tonight, about twice the area as last time. Ill get pics if anybody wants them.

ETA: Since I took pics here are two.
