My Persian kittie, Yoda, loves to be outside. He has his own cat door. I went out of town for four days, left him inside (the neighbors did come over to feed and love him), and he ended up depressed and in the vet with an IV overnight, so keeping him indoors-only is not an option. I brush him often, but cannot seem to keep his mats under control. The only thing that seems to work is a fine-toothed comb. If I get the comb between his skin, and the small mat, I can pull it out. The problem is, he screams, and my heart gets faint! I can't stand to hurt him! This method leaves him with small bald spots where the mat used to be. These are small mats, so the bald spots can only be seen when I am checking him for more mats. Is he just protesting, or am I causing him serious trama? Is there a less painful way to take care of this? I love my cat so much, and would love some good advice at keeping him tangle and mat free!! I do brush him daily, but now he hates it. HELP!!
