Thanks for some very good advice with this grooming problem. Pleased to say that it has worked and Amy and I had a very good session tonight, with me being stricter and she having to grin and bear it!! We have ended up with a sleeker kitten who is now sitting atop her cat-pole with her beautiful tail wrapped around her beautiful, fluffy little body looking like she has just won a Miss World trophy! She looks slightly grumpy, but I dare say she will get over it by snacky time!

Now I just have to initiate her into the joys of having her face washed, because she doesn't like that either! Think we might leave that for another day! Just until she gets used to having her tum brushed. Guess we let her get away with too much because we were all getting too stressed, and, we thought we were hurting her.

Thanks again. I'll let you know how things are going.
