Hidey Couldn’t Groom Herself
It was a she, and they decided to name her Hidey because her hiding skills were so impressive that everyone had forgotten about her. Over time, she became covered in her own matted fur. Ironically, she had belonged to the old man, but he just assumed Hidey had run away long ago. “Hidey was really overweight, so that makes it harder for [cats] to groom themselves, and that’s when you see matting happen,” Western PA Humane Society Senior Marketing Communications Manager Caitlin Lasky explained. Now they had to figure out what to do with her hair.
