Hello all! I apologize if I post incorrectly or if there are problems with my post, first time on here.
My 7-8 month old kitten, Sir Reginald Meowington (he is a rescue so we don't know exact age) has poofed up quite a bit within the last couple months and I just found his first mat under his armpit, I was curious if anyone had any recommendations for working it out gently? It feels as if it goes down to his skin but his coat is so thick i can't see the skin so I don't know for sure, I also tried to take a picture but its not noticeable on camera. I am trying to get him on a consistent brushing schedule but he is very difficult about it, thinking the brush is a toy, so realistically i brush him lightly maybe once a week if he's extra calm.
He is around 9lbs, as a rescue I don't know his breed and he has started shedding enough that I can't wear black lol. I am not sure if that info is relevant, just thought I'd include it in case! I will also attach a recent picture of him for reference.
Thank you to anyone who can help!
