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.
