My medium hair golden kitty, Sadie, weighs about 13lbs. The other (2) kitties weigh 9lbs. Problem is, Sadie's a total wussy. She backs down each time one of the other (2) kitties raise a paw or walk her way.
Now, 4lbs doesn't sound like much, but to these cats it's about 30% more girth in favor of the wussy. When she gets upset, she TEARS the other cats up, it just takes a lot to get her to that point... unless you are trying to comb out mats. Then it takes about 30 seconds.
Last night, my wife decided to pull out Sadies mats. I was given the chore of holding Sadie in place. I hold all the kitties when cutting claws, brushing, etc. and let me tell you, 4lbs of muscle makes a HUGE difference. It is way harder to hold Sadie down! She had shoulders like a linebacker and fought hard. We had to give up halfway through cause we didn't want to hurt her too much. Luckily she forgave us quickly and wanted snuggles!
Not looking forward to finishing the job...
