What is the best way to prevent knots and mats in my cat's hair?

Answer by  DDeSoto (196)

Constant grooming is always the best answer. Although if its a constant problem you might trim any amount of hair from it. Check the groomers as well. Cats have products for a bad hair day too. Products, brushing and trimming can be disguised as petting if you do it occasionally here and there. 5 minutes with the brush or scissors.

Cats should be brushed a few times a week, if not every day. This will keep their fur straight and detangled. If the fur is too long to manage, try cutting it or taking your cat to be groomed. Bathing the cat regularly is also a good idea to keep kitty with pretty fur.

To prevent knots in long haired felines is as simple as daily grooming. You only need to spend about five minutes combing through your cat's fur with a long toothed comb every day.

Well, the simplest way to prevent matting is by brushing your cat's fur every day or at least every other day. If the situation gets out of hand you can take your kitty to a professional groomer for help.
