Why Did My Cat Gets Mats Overnight?
Feb 16, 2012(chuckle) Actually, those mats have been forming for weeks, maybe even months, and you did not notice them as the kitty keeps the surface of the coat slicked with tongue grooming. The mats start at the skin with loose hair, dander and dirt combining to create a web. As the webbing adds more and more loose hair, it spreads until eventually it begins to form a hard mat.
To prevent matting on your kitty, use a slicker brush once or twice a week and comb the hair backwards, against the growth grain, to lift the hair from the skin and break up the webbing.
