Well apologies for not being around lately, Patch is doing fine, he is well and dandy! Just one thing bothering us at the moment...
Patch isn't exactly the most friendly cat even though we do try to socialise with him a lot..we introduced a brush to him (and have tried various different ones) since we first got him. We have a problem though, he isn't long haired, but he's not exactly short haired either..I'm not too good at cat breeds, but I'd guess he's in the middle.
Now of course, a cat with semi long hair (haha, i like that) who doesn't like a brush doesn't go well. He has very knotted fur in some places which is just so hard to get apart...we have tried brushing it but either he doesn't stay still long enough and attacks the brush or we just can't do it with the brush.
What do you think we should do?? We don't like the idea of shaving him ourselves, I think it could end in nasty results?? Would the vet be able to shave him and maybe give him something to calm him down?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated, thanks.
