🐱 Greasy Fur vs. Matted Fur: Do You Know the Difference?
They may look similar, but greasy fur and matted fur are two different coat concerns.
🫧 Greasy Fur
Greasy fur occurs when excess oils and debris build up on the coat, leaving it oily, sticky, or clumped together. A degreaser helps tackle heavy oil buildup before the regular bath.
🐾 Matted Fur
Mats form when loose hairs become tangled and knotted together. They can develop from shedding, friction, moisture, or reduced self-grooming. Severe mats can pull on the skin and cause discomfort.
✨ Can a cat have both?
Yes! Greasy buildup and matting can occur together. Understanding the coat's condition helps determine the right grooming approach.
