Gertie Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 She looks gorgeous..though unimpressed with the haircut! It must be so much cooler in temperature...if not in looks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j00lz_12366 Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 we have only had to do it once-when they were first here-they were so matted it was impossible to brush it all out-and it becomes difficult for them to walk or pretty much be a cat..the person who had them previously couldnt care for them properly, they werent underfed or anything, jsut didnt get the extra care this breed needs We looked at the possibility of having it done again last year-just for Cleo because she matts up so much faster-because we were going on holiday for a week and knew she would be in a bad way by the time we got back..but eventually my daughter and her bf came to stay so she could make sure that Cleo esp would be kept groomed... They are lovely cats with the most affectionate personality but all the health problems they have just make me think pure breeds like this should not be around, its not fair on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertie Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Ah, they were rescue cats...I understand. Poor things, must have been awful for them. Looks like they have a lovely home now though, and what a beautiful coat Slinky has in the mint pic. There are some very long hair cats near where my folks live and they shear their cats in summer to help them stay cooler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j00lz_12366 Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 yes..they get summer fur-but unfortunately their winter fur doesnt shed as such...but when we brush them it comes away...but their fur is still very thick..a bit like them generally really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
