I am trying to remove clumps or knots of hair from my cat's coat. What can I do to make this process easier for both them and me?

I think you can cut away the hair, if it is clumped, with scissors.  If it is all tangled, you can comb it out with a fine-tooth comb.  Then rinse it with warm water and let it dry on its own.  Do you want more specific advice?

Yes, I would. I have tried combing it out and it pulls on the hair so she does not like it. I am afraid if I use scissors, I will accidentally hurt her. Is there some easier way? Or at least a way to make her stay calm while I try to comb them out?

So I think I understand the problem. Let me think about it a moment.  Maybe I should just ask you some questions.  Is your cat a young kitten?  Is it a large cat?

Can you show me an image of what the clumps of hair look like? It might help me to suggest more specific techniques for you.
