Regular grooming is essential to prevent mats, especially for long-haired cats. A fine-toothed comb and a de-shedding tool can be very effective. For existing mats, consider using a mat splitter or a professional dematting tool very cautiously, always away from the skin. If mats are severe or close to the skin, it's safer to have them professionally shaved by a groomer or a vet to avoid injury. Brushing daily or every other day can prevent future matting.
