Can I take a nap? Is 5pm too late for a little nap? It is, isn't it.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Argh. I managed to nick Finn while trying to remove a mat. With shedding season in full swing, he is matting like mad, and I can't keep on top of it even with daily brushing. It's to the point where I am seriously considering having him clipped.

Thrive to spite them
Anne, my Mom had a cat she'd have clipped every summer. Baby (the cat) had a very fluffy coat and would spend all the time in the bathtub or on top of the a/c vent until she started getting clipped. First few days were that of embarrassment, but after that she seemed much more comfortable.

Anne, we have our long hair cat, Folly, clipped every spring/summer. Sometimes it just needs to be done.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Anne, I can't recommend these highly enough as mat removers for cats. No possibility of cutting skin, and if they're sharp enough, there's usually not much need for sawing at the mat.
What about furminating Finn's undercoat? That's the part that usually mats, especially when the weather turns warmer, they seem to projectile shed undercoat--the follicles apparently just shoot the hair into the air. But combing and furminating take time, regularly, and a lion cut would certainly need less daily maintenance.
If you do decide to go with the lion cut, we need pictures.

That's a clever idea, Bev. We may need to try it out, although as soon as it's warm enough we will be getting Folly's clipped.

I had an old boss who got her long haired cats lion cuts every summer. It was awesome!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
they liked them but didn't eat it all. I don't like wasting food. I wish I had a pig.
Any wet food still in the dish half an hour after I put it down gets saved for the next meal. Their dishes are small enough to fit in a Ziplock sandwich baggie. I make the exception that if there are signs one of the cats is flat our refusing to eat something, it goes in the trash on the grounds that there could be something wrong (Seriously, on the odd occassion that Sammie turns up her nose at meat, it is time to either burn the food or get her to the vet) with it and/or has some ingredient that does not work for the sensitive tummy of Harvey.
