I've had this girl for 4 years. I can't believe I've never noticed this
before! While I was scritching her back I noticed she has an obvious line
of demarcation just after her front legs end. Above there, the fur is nice
and smooth and even if you ruffle it backwards, it lays back flat. Right
behind this "line" (which you can see if the light is right), if you ruffle
the fur backwards it stays standing up. It's thicker and feels more 'oily',
if that makes any sense. And it stays standing up unless you smooth it
down. It's past this line she gets the dandruff, although it's mostly right
above her tail.

I think there's a condition where cats get dandruff around their tail,
but IIRC it's supposed to affect only male cats. It's not
life-threatening, but you might want to mention it to the vet.
