It's ALWAYS a weekend, or a holiday. It never fails. 😥 I hope Geoffrey improves as the day goes on. Hopefully a bit of rest will do him good.

You could ask the groomer to do a de-shed and light trim, where the chest and underside are trimmed shorter. We groom a Persian that has his chest fur skimmed down with a blade to de-bulk and shorten it without shaving it, and it works well so he doesn't constantly have hair in his mouth :)

Zipties would be what I would try. They're very sturdy and are easy to remove.

I am a groomer, and we have shaved cats before. If the cats have problems with the inability to self groom, hairballs, or hate brushing it's a good option for them, though not something I would choose for aesthetics alone. Does your cat allow you to brush or comb her? If you like and trust...

I've done nail trims on cats, and usually I take the top off the carrier and let them stay in it. I think they feel safer. Is this how your vet did it?

I would shop around.

Exactly. And I know for a fact there are people in my own neighborhood that are practically begging for work. I'm sure the majority of them would be happy to take food orders for a paycheck.

She has become amazingly patient. As a younger cat, she had no time for shenanigans! Lila is more apt to smack him, and has a few times. But a day or two ago, she slapped him gently with no claws, then curiously watched him scamper away to find a toy. I think she's getting there. 🥰

I was told by some friends that McDonalds, inside, is all touch screen and you basically deal with a computer to pay. I honestly don't think I could figure out how to order food at a place like that. We have a BK that is reasonably priced with really nice, friendly workers. I'll visit that...

@Freda Locker I hope your girl is feeling good today. If you were able to speak with the vet, I hope they had some advice for you. :)

Don't worry Willow, this is a Cat Society and we all work together to protect cats and their possessions from anyone wanting to steal that teddy for themselves. :)

Busy day for Balki today. He went to work with me today briefly. He got to experience a maintenance work man (also a dog lover and a close friend of ours) hauling in tool boxes, scaffolding, ladders, etc. He got to hear the sound of drywall being cut through and barely reacted to the noise...

Update on the developing story: fearless cat conquers mean nail clippers!! 😂 I think the plan to have the vet do it is a good one. No sense in stressing you both out. 😺

The more I read about Geoffrey, the more I feel emotionally attached to him. I'm glad he's coming around, even slowly, and hope that he's back to himself in no time. 🙏 ❤️

I hope you're having a better day today. I think this random realization thing is normal. Sometimes I'll be half asleep, and my mind will drift back to Goofy or Tag and it will hit me all over again and wake me up. It's terrible but it does lessen with time. :hugs:
