Thread: De-mating without injury

I have always used a dematting comb on a couple of mine,luckily the ones that I show have never had any problems.Mine is a mikki one but I couldn't find one like it when I just looked but if you go into the pet section on Amazon there is one made by Trixie & another one by Salon,I find that because of how they hook to the side they are very easy to use,I did buy a ferminator but didn't have such good results & the coat didn't feel so good either.My daughters black cat had become a s** to groom & when you are battling with 10kg + you don't stand much chance so we got a cat Mikki muzzle put that on & with her just holding his feet gently & me with dematting comb we got on brilliantly,done it in several goes,stopped every time before he thought he had enough,done as someone else suggested & gave him treats & as he was such a good boy he had a special game as well,by the time she moved with him he was sorted but I did wonder how she would get on but she still used to muzzle him to start with & he would just lay & let her do it,now he is absolutely fine & mostly she can just groom him as normal,if he looks as if he is going to play up,muzzle on & no problems.....Good luck !
