Should I worry about trimming my long-haired cat's mats in winter?

Pet's info: Cat | American Longhair | Female | 25 lbs

I have a long haired cat that is getting a couple mats, I want to get her trimmed, but am consernded she might get to cold this late in the year? She is an indoor cat and I do live in tucson so it never really gets that cold

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Jazmine. It should be fine to have her trimmed this time of year. Provide her with some blankets to sleep or burrow underneath in case she gets chilly. I do not suspect it will be a problem though.
