run into the coat mats yet?

*knock on wood* No - or not yet. Early on I got a heavy duty steel tooth grooming comb with a thick rubbery handle - and got her accustomed to whole body comb outs - she apparently loves the feel of comb teeth on her skin (which is one reason I think she is accepting the Scaredy Cut scissors with the attached comb - she just feels comb teeth on her skin, not scissors blades) - and will usually let me unsnarl her from head to tail. Why the thick rubbery handle you ask? If she starts objecting to the combing and wants to bite me, I let her chew on the handle a bit, and then start combing again - tends to reduce the wear & tear on my knuckles.
I definitely will try the food - she phases in & out of IBS symptoms on various Purina, Royal Canin, etc. And I will also look at the clippers. Thanks a bunch!
Tom - don't get me started on trying to get pills into my cats ....
