Pet Grooming
My normally indoor medium length hair kitty got out of the house a few days ago and spent the night out in the wilderness of somerville and got into all sorts of trouble. He came back with some sort of awful sticky mess in a lot of his fur, I've made a few attempts to groom it all out with my normal kitty brush but but its gotten so stuck in there hes mauled me a few times a few times for my trouble and i'm hesitant to take clippers to it to get it all out because i'm afraid of hurting him also the sheer amount of fur i might have to take off.
i've never needed to have a pet groomed before since he usually enjoys being brushed every couple of days and enjoys a damp towel down occasionally. so i don't really know what to look for in grooming services. does anyone know any nice, affordable ones in the davis/porter area that won't scare off a newbie like me?
here s a picture of the little twerp before he had his adventure and got all dirty

A word of caution, though: It's basically just a clipper blade attached to a handle, so if you Furminate your cat four times a day because she looooooooooooooves it and it makes her less hairy you will basically shave off all the hair except for the top layer of guard hairs, which can cause a slight skin condition (for the cat) and guilt complex (for the owner) until the undercoat of hair grows back.
