Well, actually, I didn't get to pet-sit the matted-fur kitty this past weekend. I don't always care for the same pets every weekend, and I think the kitty's owners were home this time. I'll wait and see what happens next weekend! I haven't brought this up with my boss again yet. One of her two dogs died late last week! She was so sad, and I didn't want to bother her about this kitty. I think I'll wait until next weekend and ask her about it. Hopefully I'll get to see the kitty, too.

I really liked Cataholic's idea, though, with rolling the kitty in honey! LOL! :P Boy, and I'm sure kitty would love that, too! LOL! ... I was thinking that if I were to try to help the cat myself, I might try to snip one or two mats at a time--a gradual thing--so the owners might not even notice until *voila!* A mat-free, smooth kitty once again!

I don't know, though. I've read up a bit on the Internet about snipping off mats and I think a professional should really do it. I know I could be really careful and gentle, but still, I'd be too afraid of pulling too hard and damaging the kitty's sensitive, thin skin. I think the best thing is to just talk to my boss and ask her to convince the owners to take matted kitty to a pro groomer. We'll see!!
