I've an elderly cat who has some bad matting. I've tried brushing, but obviously too little, too late.
He's 17 and is matting. I'm wondering the best way of dealing with it. We believe the stress of taking him out of the house would be unhealthy for him, but it needs to be dealt with. He is also skittish, and I'm not sure how someone coming in to help with the matting will effect him.
I'm not adverse to buying a clipper and doing it myself except for the fact he is quite thin, and consequenty somewhat 'boney'. For the most part, he's actually quite healthy. He eats, drinks and still enjoys his treats. He still manages to do some post-litterbox sprinting every now and then.
Would it be best using a clipper or the old fashion way of scissors, or have someone come in and try it?
Any suggestions are gratefully welcome.
Thanks
