Alright here is my first write up.
I have this long hair CAT( named Cleo) and she is badly matted on the back end. So I decided to shave her down to get rid of the mats and while I am at it the cat might as well become a lion.
I used these pictures for inspiration
First thing to do is have a good quality set of Hair clippers and scissors( I dont have a good set of scissors and it takes a couple clips to get the cat hair off)
A bag for the hair
An old sheet that you can trim the cat on and just throw away after the haircut
Then start by trimming the longer hair with the scissors. When you get down to the mats use the bare trimmers to cut below the mats by the skin effectively cutting them off. Let the cat rest for 10 minutes or so because they get stressed out. My cat just layed there looking at me for the first 10 minutes or sojust looking at me.
Space used.
cat between cuts
Just going to start again. Updates later
After about an hour or so. I have pulled off a grocery bag full of hair already. This cat has a fuckload of hair. She likes her back being shaved but hates her legs being cut
