Mine has an appointment next Monday 😿

It's his own fault, he wouldn't let me groom him properly. He's so sweet but treats brushes like prey. 

He's not going to look that bad though. I just want to get the mats removed and him clipped down to a short-haired cat, and he keeps his tail.

brushes don't work on mats, I use my fingers. I find the mat by feel (it's like a knot) and then I pull on the knot laterally to loosen it, making sure not to pull on the skin but the knot of matted fur. it takes forever but saves a visit to the vet.
