When the Himalayan boys came to live with us they were coated with oil from the rigs on Lake Pontchartrain.
We had them shaved in a lion cut twice until the oily bits grew out. The groomer suggested a light lion 🦁 cut - high boots, (to shoulders) tail, and head were left with fur. She was very adamant that it was important that they keep these areas, because it’s what they see and groom.
I don’t know if that is true, but they seemed fine and happy.

@Drythe Do you have a picture of your boys with those cuts? I'd like to take it to the groomer to show them. If not, I'll be sure and tell them this though.
Edited to say: I just typed the part of your post explaining the cut and will take it to the groomer. I don't plan on keeping him in this cut. I kept up with his combing/brushing for three years. It was only when Frankie died that I became lax in that area and he got the tangles. He's had two bad hairballs, and I can't get all the knots out. Thank you very much for sharing this information.

@NickNack , I would try a simple approach first. Try get back into grooming and brushing him daily, and offer some hairball diet food into his current food. This is what I did for my cat, and also a tiny dab of paste put into his food. It helped stop him throwing up hair.
I wouldn't bother with a haircut...just extra brushing until you get him back under control...then go from there.

Sorry, I’m not where I can search photos right now.
Pax to you, and your family.

Hope you see this. A good friend breeds cats, just two litters a year, one Persian, one Hymalian They are ‘hand raised’ with much care, socialization, and free run of her huge, old, home, until they are 12 weeks old, I usually visit every litter.
She just sent me photos of her spring litter.
This is the Dad. Meet ‘Matty’
Henry, anything you want to share with us?
I know this fellow, and his eyes are much more golden in person.

He's beautiful @Drythe ! He does look very much like Henry with his coloring.
