How can I prevent or manage cat fur matting in older cats?

To prevent or manage cat fur matting in older cats, regular grooming is essential. Brush your cat's fur daily to remove tangles and prevent mats from forming. Use a comb to gently detangle any knots that may have already formed. Consider trimming your cat's fur if it is prone to matting. Additionally, ensure your cat has a balanced diet and stays hydrated to promote healthy skin and coat. Regular veterinary check-ups can also help identify any underlying health issues that may contribute to fur matting.
