Lord knows what you're saying in Malay, but have you tried a dressmaker's "quick unpick" (for pulling out stitches) working from the bottom of the knot?

Since you wanted to know what she was saying, below is the translation for you.

Dillpretzel says "I have the same problem with my new cat, Dolly. The matted furs are usually at her neck, chest and the armpits. Sometimes the matted furs are close to the skin and it is scary for me to trim. I had to gently pull out the matted furs and later on combed her to break the matted part. It was hard.

I just got Dolly in about a week time and I do not have much experience with her. Dolly loves to be groomed. She would sit still when I combed her.

Musang, my mixed Persian has no problem at all with his fur even if I didn’t bath and comb him for a month. His fur coat is not as fine and cotton-like as Dolly’s.

I could make a cloth out of Dolly’s furs from the amount that I have collected."
