So you've used one successfully, what is the trick to using it? I think it said saw at the lugs?
Only tried a couple of times couldn't really work out the best way to use it?

Re: Knott/lug removing?

Timmy won't let me groom him for anymore than 30 seconds, he just attacks you, I've even tried wearing gardening gloves but he still gets through them

He's sick if you give him herbal remedies and if you bribe him with food as soon as he's finished his mouthfull he goes for you again, he also works himself up so much he's sick if you feed him whilst doing it, even just running your hands over him can make him go for you if he's not in the mood

He is now going to a groomers on Saturday as he's getting matts now and I don't want him to get sore. I've warned her what he's like and she said not to worry but I do because if he won't let her do it, I'm not sure what I'm going to do, my vet won't do it unless its really severe and I don't want him to get that way as it'll be painful for him. He's also very nervous so am worried about leaving him there (luckily there is only cats there this Saturday as he has serious dog issues)

I take the knot in my hand so not to pull at tootsies skin and then i have found that if you twist is back and forth around 90 degress like you are cutting works best to get the knots out. (sorry i am crap at explaining) Hope this helps xxx

Re: Knott/lug removing?

My long haired cat has quite a few bits of matted fur around the base of his spine which he won't let me near.

He was hit by a car a few years ago and broke his pelvis, so doesn't like to be touched there at all.

Think sedation may be the only option, although I could try the matt breaker tool first.

This video shows you how to use the matt breaker:

Timmy had a leg removed last year, so I think this may be part of his problem too, he doesn't like you touching his legs or his tummy
