I never had to before. But this time I think the claws were long enough to get hold of it and pull it out. I don't see anyplace my cat could have gotten under and got the fur stuck on.

It seems to have stopped but I cut the claws back on his back paws.

Given its location -- directly behind the head. I can't see how licking could have done it. No way he could get back there to lick.
