One of my boys gets tiny little mats underneath as we have underfloor heating and he gets hot. The stitch breaker is very good and doesn't hurt them at all.

Im sure there are others on here that have used the matt breakers and who can advise you better.

Thanks for the stitch breaker idea we tried it this morning on a difficult knot and it works beautifully splitting the knot so that we can tease it out The kitten just lay there on her back and seemed to enjoy us releasing the knot and then she ran in the kitchen for a treat afterwards, Love her to bits
