I used to use scissors on my Maine Coon cat but my vet was horrified..  She's seen some bad injuries from using scissors.  She told me about small clippers sold online for less than $20. ...

Thanks for your post.  I am getting the mats out of Joe's fur by separating them with my hands and clipping them out with scissors.   Joe is older and he has hyperthyrioidism.  His...

Hey!   This is a very common issue in cats, so you are not alone.   Smaller mats can be teased with our hands and then clipped with a scissors. We can also get some 'low noise' elect...

Hi Jackson. I'm sorry to hear this about Chloe.   Oftentimes when an older cat starts to react in this wat to being touched, I'd be suspicious of arthritis. Signs can be subtle and may inc...

My cat, Chloe, doesn't like her back touched. She'll nip and even hiss. She's 15 years old. She also has coughing spells. The vet said it might be her thyroid??? I think it's asthma. Is there a nat...

Hello, I agree with Linda to get them out the sooner the better. My suggestion would be to allow the aggressive one out first, and given an allowance of a few minutes to roam around to explore and...
