Preventing mats
I first use a shedding blade, but it's plastic so it doesn't cut the
coat. Then I brush with a rubber curry brush. Lastly, I use a metal slicker brush to get up the loose fur left from the curry brush. I find using this combination works very well. However, one of my cats is short haired and the other is medium haired. In long haired cats that are prone to matting, I would definitely agree with others, and use a comb, at least at first, then follow with a curry brush or metal slicker. Here's a pic to give you an idea of the types of brushes/combs there a http://www.pet-shop.net/html/ccomb.html Lauren |

You don't mean fiberglass sandwiched between aluminum foil, do you? No. It is bubble wrap sandwiched between aluminum foil. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Preventing mats-Lauren
Thanks for the information. I have saved the page. Tiger won't stand
for anything that pulls on the mats. Right now his hair is still pretty short and I don't expect any mats until spring of 2008. If the zoom groom doesn't work I will have to check out other options. I have a MAT Breaker which has five knives. This caused too much pulling of the hair and Tiger objected to it. When he gets mats, they seem to develop overnight. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |
