I have 2 of my cats chipped through Home Again. The registry was free, I believe (it’s been a while since they were chipped). However, if you want to be able to have Home Again send members e-mails alerting them of your lost pet, and other extras, you have to pay a yearly subscription fee. It’s...

I would recommend you find a vet you trust and bring up your question/concerns to them. It’s always better than researching yourself on the internet where data can be distorted and people may have hidden agendas.

She has mostly down hair that I can see. Most of it is squiggly like that. She has some guard and awn on her head. I’m sure she has a mixture of all 3 types of hair all over, it’s just the down hair looks more dominant.

Maybe I will try one of those glove groomers.

My cat does this too if I try and restrain her (her name is Luna) to do something to her. She’s on the hefty side, and she’s a lot stronger than she looks. She’s very sweet and docile otherwise. But grooming and giving medications to her is a pain.

This is very helpful. Thank you!

Sorry, I don’t know coat types. How do I tell what type of coat she has? It’s thick near her skin, but gets whispy near the edges.

Would this comb be a good choice?

Thank you! I’ll try that! I think I do need to get her shaved. Especially around her butt. That’s the worst area for her.

I have a DLH Tabby and she is fearful of getting groomed. I can’t bring out the brush or she runs and hides. She’s never liked grooming, but she used to let me brush her. She’s gotten worse about it since we moved about a year ago. Now she is getting mats since she’s making it impossible to...

My indoor-only cats don’t wear collars, although I am considering getting one. My outdoor cat wears a collar with all my info on it and informs people that he is microchipped.

I got all 3 of my cats chipped. It was painless for them because they did it when they were fixed. They have had no problems with the microchips. I doubt they can even feel them. 2 of my cats are indoor-only, but I do have one that is indoor/outdoor. I feel a little more assured knowing they’re...

Oh. Ok. Thanks for the clarification.

She is most likely a mutt cat, which I am happy with.
