    No showing for MC Elvis, so I had the groomer shave his butt...

    No more Klingons.

    Your Eric looks so similar to our Poppy, do you have a bigger picture of him?

    Gah!! We are having such issues with Poif and poop in her fur at the moment. This winter she grew a very thick coat (she looks a bit like a sheep) and she just seems to constantly have poop around her bum area, it STINKS!! She also likes to sleep wrapped round my head at night, and now this is a rather unpleasant experience.

    We have tried combing the area to keep it de-knotted and are now shaving it down regularly, but it seems even the short fur seems to embrace bits of poo like a huge never ending hug. Please help me!!

    Or at least offer some advise into how to shave a cats behind in the least distressing way for all!

    Beautiful cat.

    I don't particularly want to be shredded, or to be the one who gets the blame for the outrage,
    so I let my friendly local groomer do the trimming and take the blame...

    Combo bath ( which I'm also glad to avoid ) and sanitary trim for MC Elvis is around US$30
    here and he seems to like the groomer ( other than the fact that he's the only cat among many dogs )
    and the attention he gets there enough so that he doesn't embarrass himself by not cooperating.

    Rarely encounter this problem now they are all raw fed - firm dry poops never stick to fur and don't even smell.

    I hold Ginger and wash her butt with a warm wet washcloth, if nothing else it's good for a laugh as she kicks and licks to get away.
