Aww, a new kitty fur-do, freshly shorn and clipped for summer. I know mats can be so difficult to deal with. I bought a really terrific mat-breaker tool at Petco; my cats hate seeing it come out, but their "fur-do's" remainly relatively unscathed, just very gently dematted and untangled. It's the best thing I've bought for them.

Oh, and I agree with the others, we NEED a picture!
