Hello,
I have a male tiger cat, about 14 years old named Scrubs.
Every year around this time(summer) he sheds a lot of hair and it clumps and mats, especially around his back and tail/butt area.
As he's gotten older he has stopped taking care of grooming himself with this, so this year it is the most clumped and matted I've seen.
Last year I took him to a groomer to have it brushed out. She wore long thick gloves and had to hold him down really hard. She only got through a 1/3 of it and had to stop because of how much he was, well, not having it.
She also asked for me not to bring him in again!
Ugh.
Scrubs is a bit grumpy about his hind end and I would just leave him be but it's a lot of clumped hair.
What can I do? He is not a spring chicken.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
