Could anyone recommend a good detangler for cats. My cat is long haired and his fur gets very knotty along his belly and hind legs, I brush him often but he wont let you touch his under carriage.Thanks.

you can get detangler spray from the pound shop, It's in a pump spray, so it doesn't have the "hiss" of an aerosol which can, and will, "freak" kittiecats out.

Unfortuately detanglers only work alongside combing through, so dont waste your cash.

There is only two solutions to this, either perservere with the combing,( use a metal tooth comb and chuck the brush out). Otherwise the knots will become mats and then you are faced with taking the cat to a vet or groomer for dematting, which is a lot more than £7.00. If you really cannot groom the underside, then a groomer can clip the belly for you every 8weeks or so that it cannot get long enough to become matted.
