Ooosh! You have my sympathy, but I've no advice.

I had the Mobile Groomers come by Friday to clip Cassy and Livvy's nails. They wanted Cassy in his carrier and Livvy wrapped in a towel. (They work in the RV in the parking lot and I said Cassy was a regular Houdini...) I got Cassy in his carrier okay, but there was an unlucky kick of his rear paw that caught me just below the throat and it bled and bled. I rather look like the victim of an inept slasher now. Livvy was excited by all this and between the groomers and I we had a mini-kitty rodeo to corral her. The full story will be funny some day, but I'm grim about it for now.

Both of them have been trimmed, and I like the results VERY much but am thinking I'll just do it myself in the future. Sheesh.

I have some kitty soothing powder I got when they were so hyper after my surgery. They calmed down before I had a chance to try it.

Let's compare notes Sat. on our way to the cat show. Ok?
