Well, rats, I hope some of you with knowledge on this subject come back and help me......CAUSE.....I just found two matts in Trace's hair. I am brushing him every day, and thought I was doing a good (ok, decent) job, but obviously between my inexperience and his hating being groomed guess I haven't been getting it all combed through. Any way these are located along side one of his back legs. Can you work these out? I had a long haired cat once, and we were told to cut into (not out) the matt. Is it necessary to do that? Please help me cause I don't want a nekkid baby
