My cat who is a partial Maine coon and therefore a long hair, has started to get mats in the long hair on the backs of her legs and tonight I noticed she has new mats on her butt. The mats on her butt are a little stinky but I don't see any poop in them. She is good about letting me brush her head neck shoulders and back but she really doesnt like being brushed on the back of the legs or the butt. I don't mind cutting the matts out but she won't let me by myself. I tried a wet paper towel and also tried spraying the matts gently with water which helped slightly but didn't really get rid of anything. I have family members that can help but not for a few days and I don't want her to be uncomfortable. I don't want to take her to a groomer or the vet unless I have no other choice because it would stress/freak her out. Does anyone here have any suggestions on how to take care of mats on the bottom without totally stressing out a kitty who doesn't want it done? Thanks in advance!
