Can I shave my longhaired cat who loves to be outside but always gets bad mattings that can no longer be brushed out

Answers:
If your cat is suffering from matted fur, the best thing to do is to take your cat to a groomers or the vet, where a professional can cut or trim the knots and matts away. Cats have very delicate skin, so shaving a cat can run the risk of the blade cutting the skin. The skin under matted fur is already tender and possibly uncomfortable to the cat, so shaving may cause the cat even more discomfort.

A groomer or vet will be able to safely remove knots and matts.
