Sometimes, animals in need are able to find the pawfect help. It does not happen often, but when it does, it is truly the most heartwarming affair. And this special feline is most certainly an example of that. Being a long haired cat on the streets is not a common occurrence, and is a reality that is tougher than most feline realities. You have this big ball of fluff attached to you at all times, that in the best case would keep you warm from freezing temperatures and snowy conditions, but in the worst case gets you stuck on fences, full of fleas and in as in this case, with some of the most matter fur that hoomans have ever laid eyes on.

This poor cute catto came into the shelter looking disheveled and in a lot of pain, but she understood that the hoomans there were trying to help her. And with that in mind, she cooperated without hesitation, even going as far as to show the hoomans where she needed help the most on her body. This wholesome cat video is a pawfect representation of what can be achieved when everyone, no matter how different, cooperate and work together. Now go find someone to work alongside and create some good in this world.

    Wow look at that matting, you could make wool out of the thick mess that this careful cat groomer has diligently removed from our heroic catto. So the next time you do not feel like brushing your own feline fur baby, remember, this is how bad it can get, especially if they are not grooming themselves enough.

    Oh they're right to the skin

    Often, matted fur only extends to the middle of the fur, allowing for some of it to be cautiously combed out and the rest to be gently trimmed. However, in extreme cases such as this, where the matting has made it all the way down to the skin, everything has to be removed with clippers.
