if anyone could give me suggestions on grooming my old super matted long haired cat??? i can't rlly take her to a groomer bc im 16 and my parents haven't been too keen on it until recently but there's probably 100% no cat groomers willing to take her near us. idk how bad she is, i mean it's not thaaaaat bad (maybe idk i can't tell), but she's kinda fiesty when it comes to her mats and she has quite a bit of them. i just feel so bad bc my parents haven't rlly taken care of any of our pets that well and it makes me feel rlly guilty even tho i can't do much abt it. but now I'm 16 and i feel like i should be doing stuff abt it since I'm more capable but i just don't know what to do. I'm scared of getting scratched, in scared of hurting her, I'm scared of being rejected by groomers, i don't know what to do. i have some treats and a bunch of brushes (except for maybe the one that would be good for long haired cats lol) and i have mat/flea brushes that i can use and scissors but like I'd rather use a fucking razor and I'm so stressed and what's probably gonna happen is that she's just gonna die before we actually do anything to help her and i don't want another pet dying on us after we treated them badly (not, like, abusing, just not great). it makes me feel like shit. but now that i have my license and hopefully a job soon, once i get a job i want to do everything i can for these poor babies (i have two other cats but they're short haired and doing fine). but anyways i need tips or pity or anything idek.
