[@shroomyk]

It also really helps as they get older. I have two 14 yo with long fur and they aren't quite able to groom themselves like they used to. I didn't get them used to combs or brushes when they were young, so trying to brush them has been a bit difficult. I have been able to do it a little at a time but I feel dumb for not preparing them sooner.

[@susan.amankowski2884]

That's a great way to desensitize the cat to being groomed, handled and getting pedicures.

[@bernicehinkle800]

A few years ago my collie picked up fleas and it wasn't until the other dog and both cats were infected that it was discovered. Most of the animals were pretty easy to treat but my poor long-haired senior cat had the worst time of it. She was 15 at the time and I eventually had to shave her down because of how they gathered near her stomach. It didn't matter how many baths I gave her, collars, drops, they were absolutely constant. Thankfully after the shaving they had no place to hide and she was finally allowed some peace.

[@jscho8674]

Try using Dawn dish liquid, gobs and gobs of it. Slather it right on there as thick as you can get it, right down to their skin. It's one of the first things I always do when I take in rescue kittens because they are usually still too small for any of the topical flea treatments. The cats hate it but the dying fleas hate it more. It suffocates them right out of existence.

My father would brush him out every night, but the belly hair would mat up so bad that we just couldn't get through it. So we shaved his belly. It was super cute cause the cat would lay on his back on my father's legs, and we would shave his belly very carefully with a mustache trimmer. He would just let us do it. And you never knew he was shaved unless he laid on his back to show you.

Long ago I had a beloved kitty whose fur was so long around his bottom that he couldn't keep himself groomed and poo would actually get stuck in it. (Blech.) We got his bottom shaved at the vet's a couple of times, but that got expensive! Also repeated trauma for poor kitty, so we bought our own shaver. We would take him down and set him on top of the drier. BF (later hubby) would hold him and I would shave his whole bottom area. I swear my kitty, Lars, could read my mind, though! I would just have the thought, "Hmm, it's about time to shave Lars's bottom again," and he would look up very startled and run and hide under the bed!! 😂 Lars, 1978-1991.
