I trim the spots that Miranda wont let me brush (the private parts). Most
vet offices can do a "sanitary clip" which removes the hair from the butt,
inside the rear legs, and up under the tail. A good conditioner may help in your
case, though I don't use them myself on my cats, I know many purebred people
swear by them for longhairs. MC could probably suggest a few good ones for
keeping the coat mat free, she's the Persian person on this group. OR, just go
join a Persian cat yahoogroup, and ask what they use. They are the hardest to
keep groomed breed, I believe, so if it works for them, it should work for you.
There are combs special made for breaking up mats, with blade type teeth
that cut through the mats. Search for matbreaker comb, or dematting comb. I
usually try to finger pick out the mats I find, if you are patient, you can
usually pluck at them and loosened them up and get them out without much hair
loss if they are new mats (less then 3 days old).
