I'm sure your kitties would rather be bald than have their fur being pulled by the mats.

Sammy isn't long haired, but he sheds like the dickens and is too fat to reach his back side so, if I don't brush him, mats galore. Luckilly I don't have to do it that often.

You are a full time mom, attorney and cat lover. Certain things take priority over brushing kitty cats. At least you're doing what you can for them even though it's not your ideal.

Jonah, help mommy, would ya?
