    They are called natts and they do hurt as the fur is like a big knot. You need to take a pair of scissors and cut as close to the skin as possible. This will relieve the pain the cat is in. Good luck!!!

      Take the cat to a groomer to get it cut  and then start brushing your cat on a regular basis.My sis had a rabbit with then same problem and her skin got some infection and because she was outside maggots got to her and made it in to a giant wound and she died .
