Fat Cat Hair Clumps

[Freedom]

I trimmed her nails this afternoon, so she is ready to go tomorrow.

Crystal is now a "ventilated'' kitty, ha haaa, the groomer removed the clumps on her back. So in those 2 spots she is down to skin.

She has an appt to return in onel month, at which time she will have a bath and brush out. Due to her extreme size, she has some skin folds underneath, and one in particular is . . . in such a place that it catches all her urine and is one huge mat. She would not allow that area to be touched today. Best way to tackle this is bathe it out, then clip, then moisturize. I didn't even know this clump was there!

She is brighter and happy to be back home withOUT all those ouchies pulling at her skin. The groomer held one clump and showed it- silly cat, she tried to lick it! She is a good groomer for places she CAN reach, and now that this clump was where she could reach it, she was all set to work it out ha haaa.

Sounds good! Silly kitty!

I'm glad to hear that everything went well and that she feels much better too. I know that both Storm & Sky also felt so much better after having their mats removed. They were able to walk and run normally again. I hope that her next grooming appt. will go just as smoothly. Good luck.

Thanks! LOL we were talking about the 'honeymoon period,' Crystal doesn't know this place, these people, doesn't know why she is there, so she was good. This groomer said she LOVES this period, she can get so much done on the cat, ha haaa. About visit 5 or so, that wears off and she starts to see what the cat REALLY thinks of grooming visits. Once we get this cleared up, and I start the regimen she has prescribed, she expects to see Crystal every 6 to 8 months, just to get the oils out of her coat BEFORE the mats form. I can live with that; I'd have been more wary if she had suggested seeing Crys every 2 weeks!
