I'm looking for someone that is especially good at getting mats out of long haired cats GENTLY. My cat Mattie (aptly named for this very reason ;) ) has very sensitive skin and doesn't take kindly to brushing. Her fur mats very easily and we try to stay ahead of it by cutting them out as they develop, but she has developed several around her hips that I think we just need to get shaved. We need a gentle groomer to shave her. Doesn't have to be all pretty or anything. We're going for practical, quick and painless. Is that possible? Any suggestions?
Also, anyone know of any tricks or products to keep mats from developing or nipping them in the bud? She Absolutely won't tolerate brushing :/
