Barney has very long straight slightly coarse hair on the outside of his coat and extremely fine silky fluff underneath. He really does need to be combed regularly. The problem is that he turns into the beast from hell when I try to comb him; biting, hissing (yes! hissing!) scratching...it's like something out of The Shining! I have been wearing welders gloves to hold him with one hand and comb him with the other but he gets really upset. The kennel told me that groomers and vets use a sedative before they groom cats and I don't want that to happen to him but I don't know what else to do. He really does need to be combed.
