Working? At this hour? Take a break, girl!

And... well, if you need horseclippers for a cat, might as well go all the way and use the weedwhacker.

It isn't so much that the horse clippers are needed, it is that my dad can't do it because he will get shredded by the cat.

If you had every tried to shave a cat, you would understand!

Last year, he took the cat to a groomer, and the groomer was not able to finish, got shredded, and I don't think wants the return business!

I can handle him OK, but I recommended to Dad that he go to the vet and get some kitty downers.... He is a really long-haired cat, and not only is he prone to mats, but also hacking up hairballs.... so dad likes him shaved in the spring but my old clippers were kaputz.
