Matting is a technique used in art and photography to enhance the presentation of images. It involves placing a border, usually made of cardboard or paper, around a picture to create a visual separation between the artwork and its frame. This not only adds an aesthetic appeal but also protects the artwork from direct contact with the glass of the frame. In addition to art, matting is also common in the world of pets, particularly for animals with long fur, such as cats and dogs. In this context, matting refers to the tangling of fur, which can lead to discomfort and skin issues. Regular grooming helps prevent matting and keeps pets healthy and comfortable.
