It can be very difficult to comb cats once they're already matted. Now would be a great opportunity to get Mogget used to being brushed with a soft brush, so they learn that grooming isn't painful. As the fur gets longer, progress to a stiffer brush or comb & they may even start to enjoy it.

This type of comb, with the spinning teeth works great on knotted bits that haven't quite reached the scissor stage.

We had quite a densely furred cat who used to get quite matted. I found that breaking up the matts by hand (just pulling them apart in different directions) really helped. Apparently sprinkling a little bit of talc on the coat prior to grooming, concentrated on the matted areas, also helps get them out.
