Difference between revisions of "Prevent Matted Cat Hair"

No matter what length your cat's coat, it can be prone to matting or become choked up with shed hair. Matting is uncomfortable for the cat as it tugs and pulls on the skin, and also it prevents the cat from licking and conditioning the skin. If matting is allowed to become severe, it can join together and form a shell over the cat's body that then becomes a welfare issue. Far preferable to cutting away matts or shaving a severely matted cat is to prevent them from forming in the first place.<ref name="rf1">https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/cat-care/groom-your-cat</ref>
