We tried for a long time to get the mats out of Smokey’s hair but just couldn’t do it, so we took him to the vet’s office for their groomer to work on. He’s not used to a carrier and he complained on the way. He has the saddest, smallest little meow. The groomer groomed and bathed him. It was an all-day affair.
They had to cut out some of the mats, but he still seemed a little matted when we got him home. I decided to comb him again.
As you can see, I got out a good bit of loose fluff right from the start.
He usually loves it when I comb him out.
He’s a good kitty. I really manhandled him, but he just laid there. I was holding him by his rear leg here, and he didn’t really care.
I kept at it for a while.
We couldn’t believe how much fur we got off him, even after the groomer had worked on him.
I think we could have kept combing and getting more and more fur but I finally got tired. I think Smokey did, too, but he didn’t complain much.
I’m surprised you got so much fur after his all-day grooming at the vet’s office. Smokey is quite a gentle creature to put up with all of that with very little fuss.
You’re absolutely right and I just don’t see how he turns into the devil cat with Dusty. Just this morning Dusty was sunning in the yard between two azaleas (like he does every morning) and Smokey had to attack him and then sit in his spot.
Looks as if you have enough fur to make another cat.
It really does. When I vacuumed the living room carpet I couldn’t believe how much was there. It was enough for another cat or two.
Thanks
