How do you make the knots in cats hairs go away?
Out of all my cats, only one is longer haired and has this problem. I have three grooming tools I use on her, but you may want to take yours to a groomer first if it’s really bad and have them fix her up and then you can keep it up. For ALL my cats (even the short haired ones have lots of undercoat fur that builds up), I use a soft rubber device called the Zoom Groom. Every pet supply store carries it. I have one in hot pink 😉 It looks like a hand-held weird massage brush. I didn’t think it would do anything, but people I knew SWORE by it. So I got one – OMG, it is the most amazing thing. And it’s cheap! 🙂 And it lasts! I brush them all really hard with it and they ALL love it….they come running when I take it out of a box I keep it in – too funny! After that I have one of those small slicker-type brushes with the all soft metal head – I use that after the Zoom Groom and it seems to smooth the fur down.

Cats need to be bathed and groomed. I don’t know if your cat is long or short haired, but especially long haired cats need grooming on a daily basis. Alot of times if the fur is badly matted, you end up having to cut the matts out and then brush the rest of the fur. Brush them daily to prevent reoccurences. You don’t need to spend the money on a groomer, but if you’re afraid of doing this yourself, then by all means, let an experienced groomer do this. Your vet can probably recommend one. But if you have a kitty that is fairly calm and likes being handled, you should be able to do this yourself, and that would probably be the most comforting thing for your cat too. Remember to brush, brush and brush more, but do it gently with lots of praise and cuddling.
