So I need to clip my cat...

[Izzie]

The same cat draping all of her 15lbs across my arms right now...of course...

Anyways, after switching to good quality food and adding a little wet food and salmon oil, those 15lbs are sleek, soft, slim, and dander-free!

However, the poor girl is still just not as thorough in cleaning her pantaloons as her human companions would like her to be.
Not entirely her fault- she's longhaired, and her fur is longest around her cute little butt. And all down her back legs- pantaloons!
Not to mention, being the clumsy, uncoordinated kitty that she is, keeping them clean just isn't her favorite challenge.


So! Enter the devious, evil owner.
I have the equivalent of a "Furminator" that does a great job of pulling out her undercoat to keep her from shedding it around the house.
But if you own a dog or cat- you know how using that kind of brush around their bum can be.

I've paid the meager $6 to take her to Petsmart and get a sanitary clip- but in true kitty fashion, she yowled the entire trip (I got some interesting looks walking through the store to the salon), and sulked for two days.


So #2!!
I'm going to clip her myself. Scissors don't work, so I was planning on ordering some "pocket clippers" that don't cost an arm and a leg. I can't afford the $20-$30 for the standard ones, nor do I need something that big/fancy.

***Before I go and order those, I was wondering if anybody else had some ideas? Is there another tool that I can use to do a sanitary clip? I've seen some things at grocery stores that look like clipper attachments, only you use them by themselves...or maybe a hair thinner like they use at my salon...


Kudos to all who waded through the big post!
