my indoor cat has three matts in her fur, what caused them and how do i stop them?

Answer 1

Been there = done that (smiles) It is caused by the static electricity that is in your home during this time of year. If you don't have a humidifier then place a bucket of water by your furnace OR a pan of water by your register.

NOW: To remove the existing matts you will need to cut *into the matt several times then gently comb it out... this is so she will not end up with a *clump* cut.. lol

NEXT: She probably has fine fur and this is the reason she is matting. You will need to brush a cat such as this about every 3 days if not every day. Your cat may resist at first but with a soft whispering voice she will settle in and begin to enjoy this time with you.

GOOD LUCK

Answer 2

Some long haired cats have fur that is suceptible to matting. You should never try to cut these out on your own, especially if they are in the armpit area or if you can't really tell how close they are to the skin. You will end up cutting your cat. You can start by taking your cat to the grooomers to start with a clean slate. They can take out the mats. Then keep your cat brushed - we use a flea comb since it seems to get out all the extra hair much better - two or even three times a week. That should help greatly.

Answer 3

The matted fur is caused by the kitty not grooming herself well. I have a short haired cat who's plump and occasionally gets matted fur. I usually start by trying to gently comb the matted fur and then I gently pull the matted area apart without tugging on the fur. Regular brushing or combing will help. I usually brush or comb the cat in the evening while I'm watching tv.

Answer 4

Is she a long-haired cat? Cats usually take very good care of themselves, so if your cat isn't grooming herself enough to eliminate mats, she might have a health problem and not be feeling well. A trip to the vet might be a good idea. You should also comb her every day to eliminate as much loose hair as possible. If she's not used to being combed, start slowly and gently and just do a small part of her until she's comfortable with it.

Answer 5

You will need to get a fine cat comb and slowing comb the mats out... what I have used on my cat is a drop of emu oil on her nose every morning and this keeps the matts away in her fur. It really does work.

Answer 6

some long haired cat's fur is very fine and can get matted. You need to brush these cats every day to prevent this. I would say either gently brush or comb these out, or even gently cut them out. It won't hurt to cut them out, just be very careful and do a little at a time.

Answer 7

i've got not got faith a fastened male cat can ejaculate, through fact the testicles are bumped off. fairly, whilst they are fastened, they are castrated. there is not any longer something in the cat's physique that produces ejaculate. What in case you brushed your cats each and on a daily basis? start up by potential of cutting out the mats and being diligent in combing any extra. on the grounds which you're no longer including your cats 24/7, you will possibly no longer discover out what's inflicting the matting. Ask a vet, just to be on the secure section, and comb the hair each and on a daily basis.

Answer 8

It is caused from not grooming herself enough. Make sure to brush her coat at least once a day and it should keep her hair from matting up.

Answer 9

What caused them? The same way a woman with long hair gets knots in her hair. You need to groom her more often.

Answer 10

If you really want to stop them then you will have to brush your cat every day.
