Jen,
Can you explain how you pull a matt? I am serious. I know that with the smaller ones I can use the edge of the comb to loosen them and then I can comb it out. But the big ones are really frustrating and his coat is so darn soft that he can get a big one in a short time.

I have used a slicker brush on him...but it barely gets into his coat. Makes the top look great though.

I also read in one of my cat books to use talcum powder on a LH's coat. Has anyone done that? If so why and how is that done?

My other problem this time of year is static! Any suggestions?

Has anyone used a 'matt breaker' on their cats mats?

My new kitten Asia has a medium length coat. I am combing and brushing her a couple times a week as I suspect she is going to get matts if I don't.

Mystery liked being groomed when he was little...but since he has become an adult he barely tolerates it.
