My Smudge used to always get snarls of his fur nucleated on flakes of dry skin until his vet suggested 3V Caps. It's a mix of fish oils and vitamin E - just puncture the capsule and squirt it over food (or let the cat lick it off your fingers; Smudge gives it four thumbs up!) His dandruff cleared up, and his fur is healthier and easier to comb. Oddly enough, she originally suggested it to help with a skin condition that turned out to be allergic, but it even helped a bit with that. (He gets allergy medicine now too, at least when I can get it into him.)

Other folks have talked about adding a smidge of olive oil to their cat's wet food and having great luck with that. I guess it's mostly a matter of how fishaholic or Italian your cat is.

Love, Columbine
