Hello everyone!
So, until earlier this year, I had 2 cats - two brothers. Unfortunately, one of them passed on. The other one (Arthur) is still rollin'.
Arthur has always been a well-kept guy. Of course, he did get some help from his brother. However, these days, his brother isn't around to clean him in those hard to reach places. We just noticed that the fur on his back is pretty matted.
It's kind of weird, but I've never given him a bath before. Arthur is a 100% indoor cat, and he has always been sparkling clean until this matted fur thing.
We want to take care of the matted fur. My question is: would it be better to bathe him or just snip it?
I'm worried that a bath might be needlessly traumatic if the fur doesn't get clean and I would have to snip him anyway.
Thoughts?
Thanks so much,
Elizabeth
