BTW, if she gets mats in her fur, a letter opener that has a razor embedded in plastic, with a pointy bit you slide under the flap so the razor slices the top open, is a good tool for slicing off the matted fur (vs. scissors, which entail a risk of cutting or poking the cat).
I used a brand new set of children's safety scissors, with the rounded ends. The letter opener sounds like a good idea.
We chose Maine Coons because of their laid-back attitudes, and their large size. That way, they'd be patient with my high-energy child, and easily able to get away if said high energy bunny got too rambunctious.
This also means that it is *extremely* difficult to pill or do anything medical to them without assistance. I was amazed my cat was so cooperative. I think she *felt* the difference in temperature as I trimmed, and it helped.
Beautiful she currently isn't; she's quite the rag bag. But: definitely *much* happier. She's purring, wanting to snuggle again, and no more hairballs.

She says I can't try it with our 1/4 Maine Coon.
