Instructions
Wait until the cat is sleepy or tired to remove the knotted fur. A rousing play session or after mealtime will make the cat more cooperative.
Work the knot with your fingers while you stroke the cat to try to get it untangled. Some knots will come out just from being manipulated.
Slide the comb under the knot. Be careful not to pull hard on the hair. Cats have very thin, delicate skin.
Cut through the knot by sliding the scissors along the side of the comb. Always cut upward through the knot, away from the cat's body.
Remove the remains of the tangle using a comb or brush.
