My cat, Meeko, is a longhair Himalayan, is about 10 years old now and we're have trouble brushing him. He's never liked us brushing him, he always thinks it's a game and swats at us at the brush. Lately he's got some really bad mats that have made him cry out in discomfort. One time he ran across the room and suddenly rolled on his back trying to bite the mats, then he'd spring up and try and bite them again. When he finally got ahold of his mat he shake it like a dog playing tug-a-war. We tried cutting some of it off with safety scissors but he'd get so mad he'd swat at us and run away. Now he's scared of the scissors.
By clipping little bits at a time of a 2-week period, we've got most of them off and he's in no discomfort at all now. But we want to get the rest off. Do you have any suggestions how to? Also, does anybody have any suggestions how to make grooming time easier for Meeko and for us to groom him more successfully?
Your help would be greatly appriciated. Thank you!
