You are going to have to brush gently and cut off what you can't brush

to remove and avoid more hairballs in the feature, bathe your cat more often, twice a month, every two weeks. try brushing your cat's upper back and sides of his body while you bathe him to get off extra fur. while your bathing your cat, wash his belly with cat shampoo from acme and giant, wash his area where the fur is matted, and then use regular conditioner on it. use regular conditioner in a dime sized amount on the hair ball amount is safe, because i have used it on my cats before. the hair ball should be looser, and then you can cut it out.

Marfshoe,
You said it is a long hair cat, you may not like this answer, but I take my cat to Petsmart about three times a year to get her hair cut. There's no solving this, long hair cats all have the same problem.

1. Slowly detangle the hair with a wire comb
2. Cut off the tangled hair
best bet number2!

if you put cream rinse on your cat it will be easier to control the tangles. it's easier to maintain if you brush every day. this time I see no way out but to cut out the tangles .

He should be taking care of those himself. Believe me the belly is one place he probably won't tolerate your messing with.
My long-haired cat won't even let me work on mats back by his hips. Thank heaven he takes care of his belly!

You are going to have to cut them off him, in the future you will have to brush him. He will get used to it.

You could try and brush it out with someone holding him...or you could cut the hairballs out.
