Johanna!!!!!!!! I regularly shave my own cat Calvin down, due to mats. The boy will simply NOT be combed! IAnd don't shave him before he mats, because I also know being handled closely is traumatic for him. So I wait, on PURPOSE. He loves how he feels afterwards and has never threatened to find a new mama because it.

On the other side of the coin, as a groomer, you would not believe what I see come into the shop. Trust me when I say that no way on God's green earth could either of your cats have mats as bad as mats I have seen! And YES, these cats (and dogs) are people's beloved pets.....not pound animals.

So I guess I need to say that this could happen to the best of us (and it has).

You will love how they feel and so will they.

Now, about Jonah finding a job..................how about brushing the cats?
