I just tested him with the trimmer....

I turned it on and placed it next to his back-he started to rub up against the
carrying case and even gave me his tummy!

I may survive this after all!

One story about the Edster....the first time he went to the groomers he was O.K...

The second time we had an appointment the groomer took the case, tilted it to peer inside...His exact words were, "I remember this cat, he freaked out on me!"

Lovely, what every parent wants to hear. When he was ready to be picked up, the kid apologized because he was unable to trim his belly. He said, "Bring him back later and I'll finish...." I thanked him, gave him a nice tip and never went back.

I just didn't want the kid to get hurt! He was a really nice guy and he tried, but I was really embarrassed!
