LOL....Ritzy is a fastidious groomer, but is , um, well, a little "chubby" and cannot always reach those special places. Our brushing sessions include the occasional (and thankfully rare) "dingle extraction" --- she used to be very unwilling to let me near that area, but now that she understands what the result is, she is almost TOO willing to let me do it!
LOL - along with the cartoon, LoudLou! Oh, boy, I'd better not let Dad see that one- he'd really reinforce her diet. I guess he thinks if he starves the cat, I'll lose weight. Right above the base of her tail is where the fur comes out in batches, and the dandruff gets the worst. She only gets the dandruff occasionally, and I do see a relationship to stress - like when we're stressing over some thing, she stresses right along with us. The downfall of being a purr therapist, I guess!!!!
PS - Don't worry - I make up for the skimpy meals when I come home from work - Snack time for both of us! What he doesn't know, etc., etc.
