Samantha is now 15yrs old. She was a rescue kitty. I was told the "runt of the litter" and had not been expected to live.
Has anyone seen and or know why this happens to cats.
Her hair on the back by her tail, on both sides grows in a clump. The are six clumps on one side and five on the other side.
Twice I've cut them off (with the help of my sister in law) about 3/4 of the way down, careful not to let too close to her skin.
It is not just matted hair from rolling in the grass. She's an indoor cat but does have a patio to sleep on.
If you have ever seen electric wiring it is similar to that. Like a bunch of hair twisted around and around till it's very tight.
After cutting off a clump, I have tried to separate the hairs and it's almost impossible because it's wound so tight.
