Our monster-cat Vinnie (a 20 pounder) gets dreadlocks on his flanks, and they got so bad that we had to sedate him to cut them out and brush him or let them pain him, and trust me, a 20 lb. male cat in constant annoying pain is not someone you want for a roomate. So, being broke, I consulted my mother the vet assistant, and she gave us sedatives for Vinnie. The sedatives were, unfortunately, made for 5-15 lb cats, so instead of knocking him out they made him seem a little drunk but overall he seemed to be enjoying himself. Until he jumped up on the desk...walked off of that onto the arm chair...and off of that onto nothing. He landed with a heavy thud and refused to move for a hour. We got the dreadlocks out, but needless to say, next time we sedate the cat, we're keeping him off the furniture.
