I had a rescue that was matted bad. I now look back and think about Pooh. I think I should have told the groomer to shave a small part on him. And go back 4 or 5 times having a little done each time allowing the shaved areas to heal and be combed. Would that have worked CB? Sadly, I'm just thinking of this and he has been gone for 10 or more years.

That sounds like a good plan. You’ve given me an idea now, my husband grooms Cooper with a little shaver. If I can get this cat calm enough and if scissors don’t work, that’s an option. If the mats are so close to the skin, I might not be able to get the comb into them.

But please don’t stress over something that long ago, I know you did the best you could and the kitty knew it too. They seem to know when twe are helping them. At least I hope that’s how it is with this white cat! She’s feisty

What did you do for the kitties mats? I didn’t know much about grooming until I had three silver Persians at once. I obviously didn’t know what I was getting into
