I was at a loss with my cat and her matted fur. She hates all loud noises so clippers are a nightmare. She also hates strangers so a groomer was a last resort. This method worked like a charm! Thank you so much for posting.

Her skin can be irritated by brushing so energically with this metallic brush. Cats have very sensitive skin.

Tried this and it worked great..got three big ones from my cats rump end within 10 minutes. I used olive oil on my fingers and worked it into Matted hair and then used small eyebrow trimmer (without batteries) and little by little walla they came right out. Thank you so much for wonderful video.

Ingenious! Like Lynette Foxen's comment below, I too, have been searching youtube for a couple hrs for the best solution for one of my fur babies who, much like your baby, has the same problem. We have two short haired black cats, among several others, and just like humans, every single cat has different hair/fur. Our one black girl Monika has hardly any undercoat, just sleek shiny top coat, but our other, Baby-Boo, has a lot of under coat and has started getting mats on her hips and on the backs of her thighs. This solution of your's in ingenious because it's so simple! There are so many gimmicky cat "brushes" out there that are so expensive (as with all pet products) and sometimes we overlook the simplest implements/tools. I just ordered a three-pack of these from eBay for 99 cents, free shipping! Kim, this is awesome, thank you!

Just in case you don't see my reply, I was saying that a hairdresser's razor comb for neck hair may be a good investment. They aren't disposable and would last much longer if you are needing to use them often. I also came across a video that showed a vet using a mat removal comb with safety blades that I forgot to mention above. That tool is too big for my short haired kitty, but you could Google it and see if it fits your needs. I hope that you are able to find success!

Omg. Best video ever my cat is having a flea problem and found out that she has a matted fur on her stomach but she doesn't like to be touched but lately cuz of the fleas she knows im helping her she is kind of letting me touched her so i tried the scissors but is to dangerous their skin is very special . So this nasty fleas are living on it and feeding from her and . Im taking care of the fleas but with this matted fur i can't do much cuz so i was looking and looking for videos and from all of them i think this is going to be the best idea.

You said it,”it is ridiculous!” I have a male soon going to be 9 years old in July. I just had him to the veterinarian he weighs 17.5 pounds. He is not over fed, Sissy who died 3 weeks before her 19th birthday. Both ate the same amount of food, she never weighed more than 5.5 pounds. Her entire life. Both came out of certain death from abuse. I actually feel much worse for a pet, because a child can speak up. A cat just like an elderly person is vulnerable to horrible, evil people. Anyway ElCucho’s veterinarian never said he needed to lose weight. She gave him a perfect bill of health. However, she did have the tech do a horrible job of de~matting him with electric clippers. I brush him daily, and do not understand the problem with his mats. I have bought and tried everything you could possibly imagine. I’m at a total empass I have bought every comb, brush, even a large tooth human comb. If you or any of your followers have any idea what I can do. I would greatly appreciate it. TIA 😊 Daniel PS...the worst thing is he trusts me, I don’t want to break that.

I was envisioning a straight blade and knew that wouldn't work, but something was nagging at my brain telling me that there has Got to be something simpler that I'm missing that's so obvious. After an hour of unhelpful videos I've found the DING!!! I was looking for. Thank You!!! I have actually cut a hole in a cat. Yes. If there is one thing in my entire almost 45 yrs that I wish I could undo-it is without a doubt that. I try not to think about it ever-but my old hyperthyroid kitty let his fur go, but once his meds started kicking in he's trying to work them out and there are a few that are really close, and get tighter and tighter every day. The razor combs that stylists use for neck trims would be what I would buy if this were a constant issue. Have you looked into those for your handsome kitty? It would probably be a lot quicker for you, and cost less in the long run seeing as those brow combs are disposable and meant for a much smaller purpose. Just a thought. Meanwhile, I am ordering a pack tonight and hope that my old boy will sit still long enough for me to get it done-or at least let me work bit by bit. Much appreciated!!

@Luna_and_Miles6 жыл бұрын
Your kitty is obviously well loved and taken care of, but any idea why she is losing so much fur? She seems to be a short-hair cat, and they don't shed that much. Even long hairs don't always shed quite that much. It looks too like your cat has a bit of a partial bald patch by her tail. Does she groom excessively, and could it be allergies to some food? Try a grain-free diet, and swapping out plastic bowls for stainless steel bowls, as some cats get an allergic reaction to plastic.

F. B. Hi there ... Yes, we loved her quite a bit. She was a rescue, and there were a bit of issues to look after along the way. 😉 SS bowls, I always liked for hygenie, but never knew about allergies. She had always shed like that, but the dandruff was new last year. The bald spit was a matt that I had removed just prior to filming.
