Hey everyone. I'm having the same problem. However, my cat Cuddles (Himalayan) is so knotted and matted, that i cannot tell where the knot ends and his skin begins.
I have attempted to cut the knots, and some he'll allow me to do. Others, he begins to lick me, but once the scissors get about halfway through, he scratches me and tries to get away, making me worried that i'm hurting him.
What else can i try?

would love some advice as soon as possible, thanx
