Morning Alisa. What is the best way to brush out matted down hair on the back of my cat? I don;t know what caused it. I hope it doesn't hurt him. It's matted on the dorsal coat and only there on the back, where the cat can't get to it. Jim Hey Jim; best way to deal with those is to get some blunt nosed scissors and some talcum powder or cornstarch. Put some starch/powder on the mat, and massage it gently into the mat - this tends to attract any dirt or grease that might be trapped into the fur, and makes the mat more 'slippery. |
