We once had a cat, Mojo, who got terribly matted like that once and we found out she loved to be shaved.

My wife is a vet tech and would bring her in for the new employees to practice trimming. She would lean into the trimmer and purr the whole time.

Here's Mojo with her Mojohawk:

My elderly ragdoll needed grooming too.

Nice boots! ❤️

Got the new roar upgrade

Had to do the same thing to our Twitch. Vet said she was a “lazy groomer.” Still is, in fact. We try to brush her out as much as we can.
