I took Mimi (very fluffy cat) to the groomer's this morning. It's not something I've ever had to do before, but her fur gets so matted and tangled it's really hard to keep her clean and tidy and over the years, what started out as little clumps of fur have gotten unmanageable. Because she's long-haired, things like dried leaves and little twigs can easily get caught in her fur, and if left, they turn into big lumps of fur that are very hard to remove with a simple pet comb.

Needless to say, she wasn't very happy with me - yelled at me all the way there and most of the way home, although I have to say, she seemed mostly to enjoy the actual grooming. She might have been miaowing in protest here and there, but she was purring very loudly, so she can't have been all that put out. I reckon she lost enough fur this morning to cover at least two more cats - most of it through combing, but they did have to shave some of the worst bits off, so she does look a bit lop-sided when seen from certain angles!
