    He looks beautiful either way. Does he like being brushed?

    I've been lucky in that I've always had short to medium hair cats. The brushing is good but not critical.

    I think Storm looks lovely with his haircut and I'm sure he feels much better. He can move around more and also, with your weather he'll keep warm enough.

    Give him some scritches from me, please!

    You shouldn't feel bad. I know from experience with Sam that some cats are difficult to groom or examine. I have to take him to the vet to get examined more often than the others. He doesn't like to be touched by me or the other kitties. So his ears get dirty and I can't check his mouth for gingivitis.

    It's easier for me to get someone else to groom my kitties, especially Sam.

    He's beautiful now and will be back to magnificent in no time.

    Don't be hard on yourself. Better that your kitty has a unique hair cut than have matts. The fur will grow back and I'm sure he feels better now.

    My mom used to have long haired dogs and they often got matted, no matter how much she brushed them. Long hair = mats sometimes. It's not your fault at all!
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!
