Persian Cat Haircut

[Howitzer]

Hi all,

I have a 2.5 year old Persian female which is now venturing outside more and more.

She gets a brush every couple of days and looks relatively neat and tidy. The problem is that the hair underneath her chin is quite long and when she licks it she can struggle to get it out of her mouth.

I've trimmed her belly hair with an old beard trimmer so it didn't drag in the grass as much and she enkjoyed it, purring away etc.

So mu question is, aslong as she is calm with it, would trimming some of her chin hair and the big tufts at the sides of her cheeks be ok? I know not to trim the whiskers obviously.

I only ask as i've seen mention on here about de-matting haircuts costing £70 and the cats needing sedation?

Dave!
