How do I get mats out of my cat's fur without cutting?
Never cut mats out with scissors: a cat's skin is loose and easily nicked. Instead, soften the mat first. Spray PAWY Cat Detangler Spray evenly over the affected fur (it works on a dry or damp coat), massage it in, then work through the mat gently with a comb, starting at the edges. The leave-in formula softens fur at the mat so the comb glides through without pulling. A groomer can help with severe cases.
What causes matted fur in cats?
What causes matted fur in cats?
Loose, shed hairs tangle with the coat around them and knot into dense clumps, especially in long-haired breeds such as Persians, Ragdolls and Maine Coons. Matting builds up between grooming sessions wherever fur rubs: behind the ears, under the legs and along the belly. Regular brushing removes the loose hair before it can knot, which is why a routine matters more than any single grooming session.
Is it safe to use detangler spray on cats?
Is it safe to use detangler spray on cats?
PAWY Cat Detangler Spray is formulated for cats and is suitable from 12 weeks of age. It is a leave-in spray, safe for daily use as needed, with Honey Extract, Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) and Pelvetia Canaliculata marine extract to condition the coat and reduce static. Avoid the eyes and apply as a fine mist over the coat, then brush through. No rinsing is required.
How do I detangle severely matted cat hair?
How do I detangle severely matted cat hair?
Work in stages. Spray the detangler directly onto the matted area, massage it in, wait a moment, then tease the mat apart from its outer edges with a wide-toothed comb. Never pull against the skin and never use scissors. For severe or deeply embedded matting close to the skin, we recommend a professional groomer or your vet rather than attempting it at home: a groomer can help with severe cases safely.
How often should I brush a long-haired cat to prevent matting?
How often should I brush a long-haired cat to prevent matting?
Little and often beats occasional marathon sessions. Long-haired breeds benefit from brushing every day or two, before knots have a chance to tighten into mats. A leave-in detangling spray makes each session quicker: PAWY Cat Detangler Spray softens tangles and reduces static, so fur lies smooth rather than crackling and flying away, and is gentle enough for daily use as part of the routine.
Can I use the spray on a dry coat, or does my cat need to be wet?
Can I use the spray on a dry coat, or does my cat need to be wet?
Both work. PAWY Cat Detangler Spray is designed for dry or damp coats: shake well, spray evenly from head to tail, massage into the fur and brush through. There is no need to bathe your cat first and no rinsing afterwards, which makes it a practical choice for cats who dislike water.
