thanks for your advice

her bum prblem is just 'cling ons' and I know prevention is better than the cure which is why I want to cure then go onto prevent in the future... if that makes sense!!!

There is no chance she will let me do it for her and I don't want to upset her, I have tried to trim her bum before and she got very stressed.

where would I find someone to groom a cat?

How much would the vet cost to sort her out do you think?
