Unfortunately I don't have any personal experience with any groomers in Seattle, however here is a place that has excellent Yelp! reviews, and also seems to specialize in cat grooming, which is usual, and would suggest to me that they are very good at it. https://www.yelp.com/biz/meow-ville-cat-grooming-seattle You might also consider whether Gata might need to be sedated for the grooming. If she has a lot of matts, then it's possible that she will, as they can be quite painful to remove. If this is the case, consider talking to your veterinarian, as sedation can be performed safely in his/her office. Most vets will do a "shave-down" on long-haired cats, although it's likely a professional groomer will do a more artistic job.

Poor Fiona! If she's terribly matted now, she will need to be shaved down to get rid of the mats. If this process is stressful for her and she struggles, then she should be sedated so that the procedure can be done safely. I would recommend talking to your veterinarian about a sedation plan for her, or taking her to a different vet if yours is not open to this idea. If she will not allow you to brush her at home, then she will likely need to be shaved down under sedation by your veterinarian every few months to keep her clean and comfortable.
