She is all over the place at night.  When it snows we see her pawprints
everywhere.  She spends her days in the barn.

The matts are pretty big, and held on with very little... they might fall
off on their own in a week or two or three.

She will let me handle her, it would be easy to snip them out, I'm just
worried she'd get too cold.  Although this weekend should be nice through
Sunday.

In the barn she does have a cat bed lined with fleece.

TBird <--- still undecided

Sometimes, if you clip just the outer layer of the mat, a
good part of it disintegrates.  (If not immediately, then
when the cat grooms itself after the "operation".)

No worries, happens all the time.

I'm in Colorado, I stole this cat more or less.  She's an outdoor kitty, I
think she was born to the neighbors cat in our barn last spring.  She
decided (gee, I don't know how) that she likes us better.  (Ahem.)

It's a big chunk held on with a fairly small batch of fur.

I guess I could cut as close to the chunk as possible and try breaking up
the rest....

She's really cuddly and she loves me to death.  She climbs all over me every
day.  I think I can do this, no problem.  I'll wait until tomorrow.

TBird <--- thinking I will cut them off
