Can someone recommend a good clipper/trimmer that I can use on a long haired
cat? I would like something that is reliable and does not pull or tug on the
cat's hair. His poops keep getting stuck to his a.s and when he is taken to
get shaved back there it helps.

TIA,

I bought an expensive pair of clippers (over $100) to try to "shave"
Tiger's rear end. They didn't work very well and Tiger struggled so
much I gave up. I was able to return the clippers. A trip to the vet
is a better answer.

Any decent pet shop has fur trimmers, but why get a long-haired cat only
to trim its fur? That doesn't make sense to me. Am I missing something.

Long hair cats get poops stuck in their rear end. They also develop bad
mats even if they are groomed frequently. When I got Tiger, I had no
idea his hair would get as long as it does (he was only four months
old). I try to comb out the mats but some of them must hurt because he
objects when I do it.
