Saturday, Annabelle had a grooming session. We started in the bathroom, popping her on a towel on the counter. I had the clippers, and the rear end. JB had her head. She growled a bit!Apparently, there are How Tos for shaving a cat: How to Shave a Cat (with Pictures) - wikiHow. Too late!
We have cordless 'dog' clippers. It makes a the difference.
I started with her chest, as it was thick with mats. She has dandruff on her back, too. JB held her, she growled at me, but I got her done.
Then, Sunday, I noticed a few more spots and wanted to make her even. I might have taken off a bit too much... I confess.🙋
She was sitting in the sunlight, and I thought I'd take a bit more off. You know how you do that cutting hair... I did it once to my daughter's hair. Things didn't go well. As I told her, it will grow back.
We brush her when we can.

We watched TV together, that night. Two snuggle pusses!
Hooper is giving his sister a hard time. She is unfazed by it all. She was rescued from a barn, and this little punk doesn't scare her! He's been housebound, and somewhat antsy. I've taken to keeping a jar of treats beside my chair, and I fire them down the hallway for them. They seem to love the exercise!

The joy of long-haired cats. We used ot get our Persian shaved like a lion.
Did I miss something? Why did you shave her? She looks distinctly put out about it.

There is a very resigned look on Annabelle's "after" face!!! YAM xx
I didn't realize cats had to be groomed.
My daughter has a silver persian that gets quite matty. When she first got her she was a horrible mess. Daughter and the boyfriend had a go at clipping her and she looked pretty awful. Now she takes her to our groomer neighbour who clips her to look like a lion. I don't know which is worse!
Even with regular combing and brushing some cats get matted patches. I have a friend, her cat has to go to the vet and be sedated for her clipping. You both did so well to manage this at home.It will grow.
What a difference, before and after!
I'll stay away from your clippers!
heh heh, I was wondering (as I read through your post) how this would end up but you did a pretty good job and Annabelle didn't retaliate. Well done Jenn :D)
She is a very beautiful cat.
I cut Wayne's hair now. One day I forgot to put on the clip-on attachment to gauge the length. I made a full swipe up from the nape of his neck to the back of his head before I realized what I did. Good thing he wears a hat almost everywhere. It took about two weeks for finally grow back in. He was good about it and didn't fire me from my "job." - Margy
