Re: dirty bum bum - OT (as if it needs to be pointed out)

I also keep Bob's bum hair trimmed to this day.

I have two comments. First, on the issue of dirty bum, I have a large maine
coon cat with extremely long hair. I have to regularly trim is butt hair or
else it gets super dirty. Before I can start cutting, I give him catnip.
This distracts him so he won't bite me. He hates having his hair cut.

Second, about Winston, I have a cat who reacts the same way. Chelsea was
rescued when she was about 6 months old. We couldn't keep her so I found
her a home with a friend of mine. After a year, he gave her back becuase he
was moving. When she came back, she would ask to be petted then hiss and
bite. My husband and I have been very patient. When we pet her, we try to
stop before she hisses. After a year in our home, she is much better. She
loves attention, and rarely ever bites anymore. Our vet thought that she
might have been traumatized when she lived with my no-longer friend. I just
wanted to share this with you to let you know that there is a chance that
Winston will stop be aggressive too.

Thanks,
Chris Behnke
