When I adopted her she was 21 pounds and I had to use a small dog carrier. She’s now at a healthy 13 (she’s long).

Another photo of her from her chonk days:

    My part maine coon absolute unit is finally accepting their diet. He was 22 pounds, down to about 19 right now. He can almost reach everywhere for grooming again and he’s so much more active

      That was a good day. I had to learn how to shave and wipe her bum (when I got her she just had dingle berries!?). Now she can get there all by herself. Your boy will get there!

        I’ve never successfully shaved mine so I take him in periodically to have a professional do it. The wiping though is important he gets a bit messy 😕 One day, I’m hopeful in a month or two

          I’ve only been able to do around her bum. Have you tried blindfolding him? I learned it from the crocodile hunter when I was a kid and it seems to help with cats.
