This cat grooming kit was delivered Wednesday while I was napping.

It has a variety of tools. The scissors have a blunted tip on one blade and a pointed one on the other. The pointed one pieces the mat easily, and the blunt end will help save accidents when closer to the skin.

In short order, after working briefly on a big butt mat with scissors, I found the electric trimmer cut the mats off faster, with less risk to cat and human. Look at the size of those butt mats I got off Andy!! Poor kitty! They had to be uncomfortable carrying around.

Some blood was shed while Amdy wiggled to get away from me when I was using the scissors. The electric trimmer definitely works better than the scissors on massive mats. I’ll give Andy some time off from my mat patrol. And gradually get’em all!

( No kitties were harmed making this post!)

In less than five wild minutes, I was able to remove some of Andy’s huge butt mats. I think I have one or two more to remove – Andy was upset being held on his back for the removals, hence the human blood sacrifice – and all of the wiggling and “murder mitten” action was as much as I felt like dealing with at one shot! Even then, the new grooming kit proved to be worth the $40 or so it cost.
