Thread: rescue mc, vet, groomer or home for mats?

As posted in my intro have a mc in need of some tlc. He has one really large knot of fur by his hip and he won't let me touch it. He let me snip all the little ones and this is the only remaining one. He gets really distressed if I attempt to touch it and it is obviously causing him a great deal of pain. Those big paws pack some power!!!!!!!

Think I know the answer, but would I be best letting a groomer look at it or should I just book him in vets for a general and let them deal with fur and have a good check over him? He needs vacs etc.

I feel like a child asking this kinda question but I need to do best for my now 3 days in very beloved cat xxxx
