"This is Maylee and unfortunately Maylee is an example of a cat who does not groom herself very well so she will have a complete veterinary check up to find out if there is anything wrong that may keep her from grooming properly. One of the first things we would look at is to check her teeth to make sure that she doesn't have any damaged or infected teeth that might be causing her to not want to use her mouth to groom. We would also want to check her feet and make sure that there are no injuries to her toes that may cause her to not want to use her feet to groom properly. As you can see back here Maylee's fur is all clumped and matted together. In a normal cat like in our previous segment with T.J. his coat was nice and soft and smooth all around and Maylee has all these little mats that need to be taken off and attended to and later on in this series we'll show you how to take care of these mats so Maylee is probably, she is also a little thin so she may not be grooming just because she's been sick in the past."
