I never thought of using powder. Cassie gets "staticky" in winter and I've suspected it's from lack of humidity in the building.

Believe it or not, lightly smooth an unscented Bounce sheet over him, just as though you're petting him. It doesn't penetrate the skin, so it won't hurt him and it helps to keep the static down.

The best way to reduce static in the house during Winter time is by adding moisture to the air. Either a vaporizer, or by simmering a big pot of water on the stove. Both work like a charm.Fabric softener sheets are filled with chemicals, and I'd be reluctant to subject a kitty to them. Makes them smell pretty, but not a good idea.

Yes, I wouldn't use fabric softeners either but an unscented Bounce sheet is ok. I never tried simmering water, just water and the cats would get into it. I do have a small fountain in the foyer and that seems to help but Pidge is the cat w/the longest hair and she HATES being brushed, so the Bounce keeps her from looking like Cosmic Cat.

Medusa did suggest an unscented Bounce sheet - and that it didn't hurt the cats as it didn't touch the skin.
They might lick it, though - and I had the same concern about powder...
Then I thought - CORN STARCH!

Hmmm, I didn't even think about the licking. I must be having a blonde day. But I use it only on the top of Pidge's back and if she can lick there, she's quite the acrobat.
Blessings,
Mary
