the comb, the cooooomb!

aunt jennie gave me two combs to try: one a metal comb especially for cats with two layers of teeth, and the other a man's basic black plastic comb. guess which one worked better on wicket?

last night and again this morning we had a little session. he seems to like it, up to a point, then he grabs for my hands with his teeth and his claws. i keep the treats handy and the compliments flowing.

he was about two pounds lighter by the time we finished. just in time for spring! but we still have more work to do. what with his huggable squishiness (i.e. FAT) and his cerebellar hypoplasia, he can't reach the back of his back very well.

i had just spring-cleaned (again) before pulling out the comb last night. had to vacuum again when we finished. he's so smooooooth now

Oh, poor little Wicket. I keep forgetting that, like his brother Angel, he has A Disability. Please give him a big hug for me.
