Really obese cats can’t groom themselves well enough, so they get really bad fur mats

Our households cat is a healthy weight yet he still gets severe matting. He has to be shaved every couple years otherwise the matts will hurt him. Brushing doesn't seem to help. He has a weird, almost silky feeling fur.

I get that feeling, I have a long-haired orange cat and we constantly have to cut mats out of his armpits XD
