FINALLY - tangle free grooming of Cole! :-D B4 & After #18

[Medusa]

I wonder if this would help Pidge. She's the only cat who acts as though she's being killed when I groom her. As she's gotten older, (she's 18 now) she hates being fussed with at all and she knocks the brush out of my hand so many times that I usually only get a few strokes in. Plus she bites. Her fur clumps tightly and close to the skin in different spots; it isn't surface clumps that could easily be brushed out w/the Furminator. Last time it was her hindquarters and I had to have them shaved because she refused to allow me to brush there at all. This time it's on top of her back, which is unusual, because that's the one area I can usually get a few swipes in. It's almost as though she's molting or something; it feels so weird beneath all the fur. When she goes to the vet, I'm embarrassed because I feel the necessity to explain why her coat looks the way it does. I don't want the staff to think I neglect her.

Smudge was tufty-tangly when he moved in, but after the vet put him on 3V caps (a fish oil supplement; I suspect he considers it "special sauce") for his skin problems, his fur got much healthier and easier to brush. He enjoys being brushed now, although he expresses his pleasure by pacing and winding around my ankles, so I'm kind of half brushing, half chasing. I think he's trying to help me stretch out my back muscles...

I brush him with a "Shed-N-Blade" and then follow with a slicker brush to pick up the loose fluff. Spring is here - he's a walking fluffstorm!

Love, Columbine

Cole gets his full complement of Omega 3 - 6 every day, as does Oscar. His fur, especially at the ends, is very fine and can be dry.

He looks way better - and I couldn't believe how well the stuff worked. I was even able to put a wide-tooth slicker comb through his fur afterwards.

It was $10.00 for my bottle, Mary - so couldn't hurt to try. If Pidge doesn't like stuff being sprayed on her (non-aerosol), then spritzing the brush works really well.

Cole loses less fur during a grooming now.

It's called Omega 3-6? I just need to ask my vet for it?

Well of course we need before and after pictures as proof
