Has anyone used any MIKKI products for untangling knots such as a Matt Master or Matt Breaker Matt Splitter or Dematting comb. All these products have concealed safety cutting blades in them that appear to be able to split the most difficult knots without any danger of catching the skin of the cat while using them.I have not used these but would be interested in anyone who has .

You can also use a rake, we used them in grooming long haired dogs and cats, they work well!

Hi,

I a matt breaker but I must admit I don't use it alot, I prefer to tease them out with my fingers, failing that a very good tool is a stitch breaker, its very good for breaking knots so they can be easily groomed out. 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.

I dare say you would in Canada especially in the snow

I found this helpful with the persian type coat.The prongs retract on pressure,great for knots,ive also used the blade ones,but prefer this

Ooooh I like the look of that comb, where can I get one? If knots cant be teased apart with the fingers I tend to get my little mini Wahl clipper on them, if it is a cat that isnt going to be shown that is

Its a mikki one from petshop,it just seems to grab knots and get them out without causing stress to the cat.

We us a small rake. It works great for the cats and dogs!

Thanks for that, have made a note of the name. Can you get them from any pet stores?
