What a good girl. I've also dealt with matting issues with long haired cats. My RB Storm stopped grooming himself and now Sky seems to have also stopped. Both of them got kennel cuts which is shorter than the lion cut. Alani gets matted sometimes on both sides of his back end. He's just lazy. Luckily I can get the mats out but I do have to muzzle him while I do this. Sky may need to have to continue getting kennel cuts and he's horrible at the groomers. He now has to take a sedative before I drop him off. This is another reason why I decided to adopt only short haired cats.
