cat fur matting causes
Long hair cats can avoid matting with daily combing. If mats do form, they need to either be carefully removed by an owner or preferably by a groomer. Failure to remove mats can result in skin problems such as sores. Diet such as the proper amount of protein intake and vitamins contribute to maintaining a healthy coat. Problems such as a cat losing hair can have multiple causes including parasites, illness, allergy and stress.
