matted hair on cricket

well now i've really messed up cricket "my blue himalayan" does not like to be brushed on her belly or around her neck so ive been a little slack lately with her and now i can not get the mats out i tried but im a fraid i will cut her skin i do not have this problem with oscar my flame point he likes to be brushed and does not have any mats

Do you think i should take my cats to the groomer and have there bellys shaved? cause i know at this point i can't get the mats out! also i was thinking of a lion cut for the summer just to keep them cooler and less mats to deal with anybody have any ideas on this?

thanks guys

Take them to the vet is usually a bit cheaper then taking them to a groomer just to get fur shaved, usually the vet techs are fully capiable of doing that.
