My Maine coon is 17, and won't stand for more than a few strokes of grooming with any kind of cat brush or comb or shedding blade, unless I nearly sit on him. Some diets in the past seemed to make his hair more frizzy and prone to matting than others, especially when I'd tried the Light and Senior versions (which also caused awful dander). I have a groomer who is good with cats trim his lower belly between the legs and his butt area very short. She calls it a "sanitary clip." I also have her shorten the long hair on the back of the thighs somewhat, because he sometimes tangles there. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |
