Seam Ripper As Knot Remover

I tried out the seam-ripper-as-cat-hair-knot-remover-tool and found it works fairly well. You still have to be careful to put the point in the knot and not the skin, but slowly but surely the knots can be removed using that method. Of course it helps to have a patient kitty who doesn't mind being held in awkward positions for lengths of time.

The picture above is after about 20 minutes of careful ripping through the hair with the seam ripper. Notice the cat lying calmy in the background. She still has a few knots on her underside between her front legs, a very bad spot. But eventually, with her willingness, I'll be able to get them out. Hopefully with no further trauma!
