I was away for 15 days and the caretaker did not brush my cat regularly.
I saw lots of Mat at her skin which was removed after a good bath however before the bath the places she licked created Knots of hairs with mat ... making it impossible to untie them.
Few knots cover around 2 to 3 inches of her body, abdomen area. These knows are right at the roots so they cant me cut.
We don't have good Vets here however I was advice to get my cat shaved which I don't intend to do.
Is there any way to get rid of these knows without shaving the cat or cutting these knots because cutting them will also make my cat look ugly (having fur all over his body and some parts showing skin)

Hi
Unfortunately if the knots are that bad and close to the skin then the only way is to shave the fur using special clippers which will cause little pain.
A cats skin is very delicate and trying to pull ay knots will cause a lot of pain and all that will happen is that you end up pulling the fur out.
A pet groomers may be able to shave just the areas affected. The fur will grow back quite quickly.
I have a web page about this problem here which you may find interesting http://www.our-happy-cat.com/cat-hair.html
