How do I remove mats from my cat’s fur?
scissor-girl asked:
My 4 year old Maine Coon has developed very very bad mats on her tummy. They are very close to the skin. She is very skittish and antisocial and I know that taking her to the vet would be an extremely stressful experience for everyone. So any tried and true home remedies would be much appreciated. Thanks!

How can I remove my cat’s mats in her fur?

She’s not a longhaired cat, but her fur is longer towards her rump and on her back. I’ve tried using a wire brush to work through the mats but she won’t tolerate that for long. I’ve also tried using scissors to cut out the mats, but she won’t let me do that for long either. What can I use that won’t hurt her?

How do you keep a long haired cat from getting mats?
indigonipple asked:
I brush her everyday, and give her a bath monthly. I have tried not brushing so often and not bathing so often and giving some kind of oil pill that is suppose to make thier coat more silky but, no matter what she always gets massive mats in her arm pits between her front legs. I went on vacation about a month ago and, when I got back she was so matted she could barely walk and we had to take her to the vet to get sedated so the mats could be cut out because they were so close to her skin.
