fur

Question
QUESTION: hey.my cat carly has clumped up hair on her back.i have a pic of it if you want to see it. What should i do.

ANSWER: Hi
have you tried to brush it out yourself? If it is really tangled it may be too painful for you to do it and so you will have to take her to either a vets or a pet groomers to have it carefully removed.

Matted fur can be very painful for the cat as it starts to pull on the skin, so the sooner you can have it removed the better.

I have a web page about matted fur which you may find of further interest here

QUESTION: If you didnt no im 9 and my mom thought we should put her in the bathtub.  But the fur is pretty rough and a brush will not get through it.

Answer
Hi
that is why your cat needs to be seen by a vet or a groomers. When fur gets matted it is very painful and needs to be removed using professional tools.

Please let you mum see the page I gave you about matted fur.
