A Persian coat in Karachi humidity mats faster than most owners expect, and once a mat is tight against the skin it pulls, hides moisture, and turns into a skin infection.
Shedding itself is seasonal and normal. Hair loss that leaves bald patches is not -- that is usually fungal, parasitic, an allergy, or a hormone problem, and it needs a vet rather than a better brush.
What people report working:
- Combing daily with a metal comb, not a brush -- a brush glides over the top and leaves the mat underneath
- A sanitary trim around the back end
- A summer lion cut, which divides opinion completely
- Diet with enough protein and omega-3, and free access to water
Post your routine: which comb, how often, how long it takes, and how you handle a cat that hates being groomed. Also, has anyone found a groomer they trust, and where?
