Cobweb my cat had to be shaved yesterday. She is 3 yers old but has a paralysed tobgue so can't wash herself (well, half of it is paralysed, she eats and drinks but it takes her a long time).
As she is long haired she gets completely matted. We do try and brush her, however, this really really stresses her out so she always eventually gets matted. We were gradually getting the matts out with clippers day by day but she was getting so stressed we thought it best for her to be sedated at the vets.
Poor Cobby isn't best pleased with her new look but she must be sooooo much more comfortable. We are determined to try and brush her everyday from now on just to try and get her used to it so this doesn't happen again-she just hates it so much
