Shearing the cat

Yesterday I sheared my first cat.

This cat had earned the name Mr. Fluffy… so named because it is a he and he is a big furball.

Recently I have noticed that his beautiful long fur has started to develop into big mats. He was starting to look really awful, I figured I had two choices either start brushing him on a regular basis or shear him.

Brushing was out of the question because the cats are on the farm to hunt and eliminate vermin. They are barn cats, not pets. While he was eating some dry cat food, I took my shearing scissors and quickly clipped off the longest and nastiest fur on his body.

Here is the result

Hi, I met you at the Farmer’s Market and we discussed Linda Sepp.
I also mentioned to you about dryer balls that were made out of wool. I found a facebook page, and so I’m sending you the link. http://www.facebook.com/bouncingwoolies?v=wall
Thank you very much for your help and I hope to hear from you sometime on how it works out with washing the wool in borox.
