Thread: De-mating without injury

Had another session tonight and got rid of the large mat with the use of the little seam cutter - great! He seemed to be more patient tonight and lay on my lap and let me groom him for a while until I started on the mat when he wanted to leave but with a little gentle pursasion I got him to hang in there. I have found another little one though right in his arm pit and I'm not sure how I am going to get that out because I can't get to it without holding his leg up and then I only have one hand - any suggestions? I don't know whether I missed it before or it developed in the last few days but Simba's coat has got sooooooooo thick! I have to bury down quite a way before I see skin and just brushing him only gets the top layer so it takes ages to give him a thorough brush. I think it maybe the cold weather making him grow a thicker coat? I have never seen so much fur, when he is washing himself it is almost laughable because it's so pathetic - watching his little tongue trying to work at an impossible task

Oh and by the way I'm not a seamstress or even any good with a needle but I have had for some odd reasong the little seam cutter for ages and I'm not sure when and why I got it! I think it was when drainpipe jeans became fashionable and all my jeans were flares
