Thread: Maine Coon Grooming Basics

It's so tricky under the 'armpits'! Roxy gets matted there and positively HATES having any kind of implement (including my hands) near there. I try to go in with my fingers initially to feel the extent of the matts and carefully start untangling work, but she will squirm, hiss and growl, so naturally not my most favourite thing to do. And she is usually the most sweet tempered cat, just gets really grumpkins whenever grooming is involved...hopefully as she gets older it will get a little easier...
