I have a lot of clumped hair in my rear half, and mom bathed me in hopes of dissolving the clumps.
No dice, they are too hairy to dissolve. She went at them with scissors but I was skittish because I think some of my skin is in the clumps, too. No blood ever showed, tho.
I yowled a lot and mom finally gave up.
Funny thing is, my fur is white now. Before, it had a brownish hue to it.
And I smell like lavender.
