Four Paws Magic Coat Tangle Remover For Cats

The Four Paws Magic Coat Tangle Remover For Cats is the lighter of the two Four Paws cat dematting tools - fine blades for opening a tangle that has not yet become a solid mat.

Key Features

• Fine blades that slip into a tangle and open it from the edge
• Sized for cats rather than scaled down from a dog tool
• Suits medium and long-haired breeds
• Part of the Four Paws Magic Coat grooming range

Working On Mats And Tangles

• Hold the fur between the mat and the skin with your free hand so the pull goes into your fingers rather than the skin
• Work from the outside edge of the mat inwards in small passes. Attacking the middle of a mat just tightens it
• A mat that is tight against the skin should be clipped out by a groomer or a vet, not cut. The skin lifts into the mat and is very easy to cut through

Tangle Or Mat

• A tangle still has air in it and can be combed out. A mat is felted solid against the skin and cannot
• This tool is for the first of those. For the second, use the Mat Remover or have it clipped out
• Catching tangles weekly is what stops them becoming mats, and it takes a fraction of the time

Making Grooming Easy

• Short, frequent sessions beat long ones. A minute a day with treats builds a pet that tolerates grooming for life
• Work in the direction the coat grows and stop before your pet has had enough. Ending on a good moment is what buys you the next session
• Clean the tool out as you go. A brush clogged with hair stops reaching the coat and starts dragging on it
