Matting - The Silent Struggle Many Cats Face 💔
It’s easy to think of matting as “just some tangles,” but for a cat, it can feel like wearing a tight, itchy sweater 24/7. The matts pull on their skin with every move, hide painful sores, and trap heat and moisture that can lead to infections.
I’ve seen cats walk stiffly because matts under their legs hurt with every step. Others stop grooming altogether because it’s too painful, and that only makes the matts worse. In the most severe cases, the fur can form a hard “pelt” over the skin, cutting off circulation.
The good news? If you brush you cat on a regular basis, this is 100% preventable.
A healthy coat means healthy skin, better comfort, and a much happier cat. 💛
Don't let those tangles turn into trouble. If you need help, call me.
