8 year old cat - tequila

We have this really goofy cat. She has a few characteristics that I really don't like, and I'm wondered if Sarah could give me some tips as to how to change Tequilas behavior.
Background: Tequila was born "in the wild" I was told by the vet we adopted her from. She gets really badly matted fur and we can't get within an inch of her with any sort of brush to comb out the lumps of fur that grow over the year. The only solution we have come up with is to have her shaved (a Lion cut) each summer. How can I get her to accept the brush to not only help the bond between us but the get the lumps out as they form. She recently has allowed me to cut the lumps off without much fuss - so maybe there is hope here.
