We all know that cats are very good at relaxing. Sometimes, however, your cat may relax so much that it appears boneless and it may have trouble getting itself back to a more standard appearance. At such times, you may need to offer a little assistance.
When your cat has relaxed too far, you need to push all of the stray parts together gently, combing them in a pile until they begin to cohere. This may take ahwile as the individual hairs can be quite resistant to rejoining the gestalt. Be patient, gentle and persevere. It MAY take hours.
Congratulations! You have reassembled your cat!! BUT you are not done yet. You must assure that the reassembled cat is in proper alignment. Adjust the cat until it is at the proper angle. Remember to be gentle and patient as you do not want the newly reassembled cat to fragment.
Once the cat has been aligned properly, allow it to rest undisturbed. This allows the recombination to strengthen and increases the likelihood that the cat will maintain its standard appearance. If you have any stray pieces left over after you have reassembled the cat, you may remove them once the cat has left the work area of its own volition. A newly recombined cat may decide to discard some hairs or whiskers as it settles into its new condition.
