Hey everyone I am fostering a Beautiful Brown Tabby names Audrey.
She arrived this evening with several serious matts on her back.
I have not atempted to take a brush near her but from petting her and feeling around they are quite tight and impacted.
I don't think I will be able to untangle them.
She is currently in segrigation in my room away from my other cat Jasper and my dog Kyra. I would like to make her comfortable as soon as I can so I am thinking I should leave her a day or 2 to relax and become accustom to me and the sounds of the house before approaching her to remove the matts.
Having never had a matted cat I am wondering what the best way to remove them would be. Scissors or should I look for trimmers or have her professionally shaved?
Will the fur grow back quickly? I know any of my cats that have had surgeries or needed blood work their fur grew back in a quick amount of time but this is on her back so....
Any ideas or suggestions will be welcome
