Hi
Bogbastardkitten is a most beautiful, large, long haired Siberian. Unfortunately he's also having the problem, which I understand isn't uncommon in long haired beasties, that when he uses the litter tray the result tends to get stuck in the hair of his rear end, or to hang onto the hair and then fall off in places where you would not want such a gift. After a shit spectacular last night which involved the bathroom floor, my slippers, and the landing carpet (and yesterday was a shit spectacular in every other sense of the word so BBKs contribution was the last thing I needed!), I am wondering if I can take any preventative action.
Would a cat groomer shave or trim his back end hair, or could I carefully trim it myself? Would change of food make any difference -currently on x2 pouches of Wainwrights and J Wellbeloved biscuits. Is there any foolproof method of cleaning them up when they do this? Luckily he is a big softie and too good natured stupid to object physically to being held tight while his back end is cleaned up, but I have better ways of spending my hard earned evening!
