Nina,
I took Muffie to the vet, he sedated her and shaved her body left the fur around her face and head long. She looks like a little strange lion, but I know she feels better. She seems healthy and has calmed right down. She gets along great with my other babies. Some ignore her, some act like
Sheila,
Muffie's positive!?? Can you believe it? Poor little angel, broken
ribs, out on her own with no front claws... How wonderful that she's
finally home where she belongs. We were just talking about how the
animals that need us, are drawn to us, I guess Muffie is a prime
example. The
how small is she? my little 4# blue-cream persian couldn't JUMP high
enough to get onto most furniture! i had to have little ramps for her
all over the place

She weighs 4#. She looked a lot heavier with the fur. I will try the ramps, it seems strange having to reach down to the floor to pet her. She will let me pick her up and hold her as long as I am standing, but when I sit she will jump out of my lap.
if hubby put her outside very early on, she just may not be accustomed
to furniture. my jenny was a breeding queen, and tho she had been
out of the cage to play everyday, she had no concept of
vertical--she'd chase the other cats, but as soon as they went up
the cat-tree, she'd just stop and
That reminds me of my cat Trouble. He was raised as an only-cat with
dogs and pretty much acted like a dog himself. When new neighbors with
cats moved in next door to us, I could see the wheels turning in his
head as he watched them. Hey! I can do that too!

You may want to put some feliway plug ins around
They are suppose to help calm cats. I have two right now in
I do see better results with the spray can but I keep the plug ins.
I like Emergency Flower essence it's like rescue I just have seen
better results for stressed cats or cats with
Nina,
Yes, sorry Saline solution, I use "Opti-Free Express Lasting Comfort No Rub" . Have you tried like a spray conditioner for his coat. They also have mits that you can use so the cats get stroaked by you and combed at the same time. Since all mine are used to it, they really do not enjoy it
Try clipping the small ones and combing her every once in awhile jus tto get her used to it.

Cherie , if I can get her shaved and clean I'll be able to keep her that way. I don't have any long haired cats so I guess if you can keep up with five I can manage one.
i think this is the best advice for a scared, badly matted persian.
her biting in self-defense makes perfect sense for a declawed
not-made-for-the-outside-world cat! the vet can use a safe sedative if
one is needed, and can quickly shave her so you can start fresh. some
persians mat in such a way
I quickly read through an email and saw the suggestion to maybe contact a persian rescue. I know there is a persian rescue group on one of the other groups I belong to. When I see and email sent be the person from the persian rescue group I will post the info to the group and you can check it out
Thanks Mia I would like that.
Sheila,
How's the kitty doing? Is she still scared to death, or is she starting
to figure out you're one of the good guys?
Nina
Sheila,
Bless you for saving this poor baby. I don't understand people either.
I was just telling my sister that you can't spend more than 10 minutes
in any sort of rescue endeavor without beginning to question the
inherent goodness of humans. I'm so grateful to belong to a list like
this
Sheila,
I have 4 Persians and 1 Himmie, hair mats are easier than people think, close shave should do it. I put about 3 inches of water in the bath tub, with a dixie cup I hold the cats under the front legs and pour it on them, I use cat shampoo, towel dry then, lightly blow dry and combI comb
Hey Cherie,
Just to clarify, when you say contact lens solution you mean saline,
right? There are contact lens solutions that are cleaners and you
wouldn't want to put that in anybody's eyes! My Timmy has fairly long
hair and since he's begun shedding, he's got some small mats
developing.
Thanks, I want use the valium she's been through to much to take any chances. I'll try the Vet tomorrow. Maybe he can sedate her safely. She bit really hard when I first tried to pick her up. She has back claws and really knows how to use them. I guess she had to learn to defend her self outdoors.
I have 4 Persians now (fosters). I use a metal comb, easier if a friend
helps. I don't cut unless I get the comb under the matt and can cut on top
of the comb.
I also use the comb to comb thru the hair gently, and sometimes I use the
very end of the comb to gently putt a few hairs out and
18 matches
