Oh my good lord... you're trimming your cat yourself?! EEEK!!!

You are a brave man. I call JenLuckenback and schedule trimmings for Jorgie. There's no way I'd ever be able to trim him myself.

Do you have an area where you can tether him with a leash or something so he can't slip away?? They have them at the groomers. A table, with a pole to attach the leash to. I'd highly recommend finding something like that to tether him to before you attempt this. Unless he's totally laid back and doesn't mind loud vibrating objects coming super close to his body!
