Yesterday I got hold of Davout and felt some dreaded mats on his side. Quite a few.
I tried combing some of them out, but didn’t get them all. He was really mad, for him at least and even meowed sharply and hissed at me a time or two.
Rhea, like a good sister, kept popping up nearby to see what was making him upset.
Rhea had a similar issue a little while ago and still has a few gaps on her hips. Davout might be worse.
He isn’t looking forward to this, that’s for sure

Oh man you have a job ahead of you. I have to trim Alis spits every month or they get soaking wet when she drinks from her fountain and drips all over.

Long hair and mats go together like a horse and carriage. Think I may be able to turn this into a song. You got to get them before they get too far along, or else you must then get professional help removing them. Been there, done that.

I do have semi pro clippers so I can chop out mats at the cost of a patchy looking coat.

Poor baby! My human has a book “Pet Cures”- it says you can shake baby powder on matted fur and rub it in and the mat will come out! 😺
