Oscar's tail is interesting....the last 3 inches or so of it turn from a brown tabby to almost a silver tabby marking. So that is what you likely noticed.

He IS pretty, isn't he? (proud meowmie)

As it gets dry up here, and he started scratching a lot under his chin, I started adding a single drop of canola oil to each cat's wet food in the morning.
Great results within a week! And no extra scratching! Oscar's fur is SOOOO soft now...So is Cole's but there is a lot more fur for the oil to work with, and he never had a scratching problem. But he is nice and shiny!
