Does anyone have any tips/experience trimming the ruff of long-haired cats? Thor’s majestic wizard beard is getting so long it gets stuck in his mouth when he tries to groom himself; he literally cannot pull his head back far enough to release it from his mouth.
I tried using safety scissors a bit but couldn’t get good angles to do a good job. Any tips on how to hold him steady or certain techniques I should try would be appreciated!
An #introductions post for Thor:
Like his brother Doots, Thor had feline herpes as a baby & as a result has a wonky left eye.
We think his daddy must be a Ragdoll, since he and Doots’ mom is a grey tabby. His fur is soft like cotton candy spun from silk. He has no undercoat.
Thor hates being alone. He demands pets (w/BOTH hands) and brushing multiple times a day. He does “stretchy snuggles” with me every morning, rubbing up against me while I do yoga.
A close-up shot of a fluffy white and grey long-haired 1/2 Ragdoll cat, lounging against a cream blanket and turquoise pillow on a grey sofa. Thor may not be as photogenic as his brother Doots, but he is just as beautiful in person. #AllCatsAreBeautiful#FediCats#CatsOfFediverse
