"Always always put a leach on them because if they get away you could grab the leach were I'm going to be using both hands and I can't get her quick enough and like I said you do not want them to fall on the floor. What you do is you don't start cause we are going to cut her off here. Or maybe here. You don't start up around the face at all because that is threating you start back here. First you let her listen to it you know and then I do this I use the back end of it. Like that to get him use to it. T hen a real good thing is to start with a matt because that feels so good when it comes off. That they would let you do that and they think well maybe this is not to bad after all. She got a matt right there and she is scared. You see I'm holding her. There goes that awful matt. She is not the best. Once they figure out you are not going to hurt them or nothing on around in this area. So you go the way the hair grows which is it goes straight down the spine and then it goes off to the side like a arrow head and goes this way on the side. Cats are very very easy to cut and I have not done it yet but when you do cut when someone does they tare. Like when they cut them they are just like a fraction of a inch. That cut would wind up being this long because there skin is so thin. Now see she has these clipper as big as she is coming after her. You want to like not like you are mowing a yard like not like that cause she is mad at you and it is going to pull the skin up in there and cut her so you use a brushing stroke. You could feel most of this is by feel. You could feel that you are cutting her hair. She is not to bad for her first time considering that she has not had a bath to calm her down. See how I'm brushing that because I'm afraid that I will cut her if I didn't because if you do the clippers like you would do a lawn mower just run them. You see how that is pulling her that would cut her there and it cut her there. So I repeat a brusher thing. The way it grows."
