Post Your Pets

You inspired me to groom Higgs, I got off lightly I think- 3 neat parallel scratches down my ribs but nothing else.

I had to cut away quite a lot round her back legs, the "velcro" seeds had made some quite exciting dreadlock type matts.
Ron has the same problem - seeds stick on his haunches, and matted lumps seem to nucleate.

He's really wary of us going near them with a comb / scissors / carving knife. But he's oddly ok if you grab one & yank it off.

Slag cat doesn't seem to suffer at all, even though she's the one that rolls around in whatever piles of ordure she can find.

Bad cat owner story time - I was cutting out Roo's clumps with the Scaredy Cut ® Silent Clipper (as used by celebrity cat groomer, TW2), and managed even then to slice her leg. The poor little thing didn't even fuss, and it wasn't until after that I saw her leg pissing blood.
