was it hard to do?
It was very difficult, and tedious. Cat's skin can cut SUPER easy. Thin cats are harder because their skin tends to fold. And matted cats are harder still because the matted hair pulls the skin up away from the body. So just imagine! I actually needed to use a surgical blade (the shortest one available) to be able to remove some of the mats without causing damage.

The cat was so good. he tried to behave himself. I simply can't get over it!
