it will heal. it happens to everyone. a trick you might try is if you have to clean out a "back end" again, take a warm, soapy washcloth and hold it over the area that is stuck. you'll have to really hold the cat, but it can be done. it will loosen up the debri and be much easier to see and to manipulate to cut.......

keep him in and he'll be fine......i used to cut my little J.J. sometimes when i gave him his trim. xoxoxo pat
