Here goes! Max is long-haired and I'm able to comb his belly, back and sides, but refused to let me get near the back end (must be a male pride thing!!)
For tangles on his hips, I use a flea comb to gently separate the knot then use a wider-tooth comb to finish the job. I've been told "never use sissors" because you can accidently cut the kitty's skin. Well, I have used sissors on occasion but mostly use the comb.
As far as the back end is concerned, his baggy-pants get shaved off twice a year at the groomers. That way I don't lose a couple of fingers....
Good luck and welcome to PT! We are all here to help, no matter what the subject!!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
