Hi Catlovers,
My little cat chequie developed a few closely placed matted lumps in her fur in the same area on her side a few months ago.
I cut the bigger ones off but new ones seem to be reappearing beside where the old ones were.
They seem to be composed of dandruffy stuff which sticks the fur together and the matting begins about a quarter of an inch above the scalp.
I dont think its a grooming issue, she is a shorthair and the problem is only in one area. I have been brushing to try to prevent it, but without success.
Could anyone explain what it might be and what I should do?
Thanks,
Sara.
