sadiedaisy ... he LOVES being trimmed and prances around like he's king of the hill. His hair can get 5" long so he's been going to the groomer since he was young and doesn't mind at all. I have to admit though, people coming into the shop do a double-take when they see a cat standing on the clipping table. He's a big Maine Coon weighing 26 pounds but actually thinks he's a 200 pound Rottweiler. He's protective of us, the house, our other cat and even the dog. Even though Patch is twice his size and weighs 45 pounds, Koko will put himself in between her and strangers that come into the house ... and if they insist on saying "Nice doggie - here doggie doggie" or start to approach her, Koko will crouch down and growl at them. In other words, "Don't mess with my dog!"
PS: The dreaded killer tree sap disease cost me $65 to be diagnosed and cured. I felt so stupid ... plus I could have gotten a lot of fabric for that.
