Matted fur - it happens to most dogs or cats occasionally. When you notice matted fur on your dog or cat, it’s very important to remove the matted fur as soon as possible. Not only is it ugly, but it can become very uncomfortable for your pet causing him to pinch and pull at it. Of course, this can just make matters worse.
So, what causes matts and how do you treat matted fur?
There are several things which can cause matting, but the most common cause is lack of grooming. If you haven’t brushed your cat or dong for a while, shame on you. Your pet can’t do it himself. He’s totally dependent on you to take care of him. If you can’t do it regularly, please take your pet to a groomer regularly.

The Siamese cat is a natural breed, which means that the traits commonly associated with the Siamese were not artificially introduced into the cat.

Currently there are two main Siamese cat looks. There is the “wedge-headed” cat, which is the breed standard and the “appleheaded” Siamese. The appleheaded cat is often called a “traditional” Siamese. At this point in time, it is difficult to know which cat was the true breed. It is possible that the long lithe wedge shaped cat was as common as the heavier boned applehead.
