Hello, dhusband has a Maine Coon (sorry - I'm a dog person, she is his cat!). Cat came from local rescue; she has a lovely temperament generally but will NOT let her belly or bum be brushed. She feels very strongly about this!!!!
She gets steadily more and more tangled. DH managed to sneakily (but carefully) cut a few tangles out, one scissor cut a night (!!) but it eventually got beyond what he could do. Cat needed a dental anyway so had a good grooming under anaesthetic.
The vets have no suggestions, and refused to shave Cat's belly. Dh was simply told he would just have to brush her - he does brush her, daily, but she is instantly outraged if he goes anywhere near her bum/belly.
Is there any answers? How do other people cope?
