Feline Sanitary Cut

I have a lush long haired cat who is 5 years old... Every few months he needs a "sanitary cut", if you know what I mean. It is a fucking nightmare.
Ever tried to shave a cats asshole? He hates it, we hate it, it sucks.
We do it in about three waves, separated by a couple hours, giving him treats between each session. It takes about a week before he trusts us again. With anything else like ear cleaning he can be held still with a tight grab at the neck, tilting his head up with pressure on his back. Nothing keeps him chill when shaving his ass though.

I dont get long haired animals exactly due to this reason....
I also dont like the ones who shed excessively too.. my Husky mix is a nightmare next to my sticky plants...

Never knew you had to shave their assholes.
Yeah, this guy is especially lush with hair. Shit gets caught in there and eventually there is no way for him to part ways with his deuce... blockage. Then they can get urinary tract infections which is painful and leads to pissing all over.

technically you don't.... stench wise.. you must!
The stench is how I know it is time. I should catch it earlier, but I just sort of forget. I don't exactly write "shave *%^&& asshole" on my calendar. haha.
This one got worse than usual... might get him some antibiotic just in case.

we have one cat who we've had to shave a few times, never a pleasant task.

was given the advice to wrap the little furball cunt in a towel first so she doesn't scratch while you're shaving her nether region.

I should have known better.

Damn, my eyes hurt now.

We have two of these:



and we shave them like this



Using these




We work together, in the bathroom, so they cannot escape. One of us will hold the cat, stretching arms and legs out, etc. The other clips away. It takes a while, so we will pause to let the clippers cool, and give them a break. We try to hit them every 3 months. We rescued them a few years ago, when they were already a couple years old. They got used to it pretty quick. Patience is huge!

Wow... I'm just another one of those assholes who can't figure out how to use the search tool..
don't let kuroi and her thread nazi ways stop you. new threads about the same ol' thing is what keeps this place fun.

besides, i'm not sure you would have found that thread with the title i gave it.

Do you still have an inch of respect for nodrama?
i'm hoping he was just being facetious.

Cool, cause I was going to post a "how much will I yield" thread and a "how should I smoke it" thread. Or should I combine the two? I know, I will also start a poll asking if I should combine them.

p.s. I have a Himalayan who was horribly matted when she was a rescue kitten. Once she was healthy and eating well, I brought her in for a shaving.

Now I bush her often - mostly with a furminator style brush, and have not had to have her shaved or clipped at all. Maybe her fur is just long and not very long. Yeah, she gets matts that I have to work out but not as much a problem (or sanitary issue) as I thought she would be.

Anyone remeber a depilator called the Epilady? They came out with a pet-oriented derivative, the Epikitty. It even allows for operating at a safe distance, and has positive action on your pussy's bushy, uhm, oh look! Earwigs!! cn
