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

I didn't do well with the matts. He had them and I was dealing with his peeing on our rugs. So one at a time we got hardwood in rooms. As the hardwood was laid he would go to another rug. He was at the local shelter for well over 6 months before I went and brought him here. I feel I failed. I should have done more to help him. I guess the saying..you can learn from your failures. I sure hope he understand I was trying to help but just didn't know how.

The shelter tried to talk me out of picking him to come with me. Said he didn't care that he was caged. I was then determined to have him. I even lied about not having a dog in the house. Said Pooh hated dogs. Pooh had another cat friend here when we brought him home. He actually liked our Sheltie. I hope all works out for you.
