I tried those wipes on my old girl, Tigger, and her fur just clumped up.
Do
you have a specific brand that you have found works?

I don't recall the brand--I used them on my girl Gnarly when she was
older and lost interest in grooming. She had medium-length very fine
fur that never snarled, but it got dusty and flaky.


I have to "rake" the underfur regularly and then comb her out. She was a
clean fanatic in her youth but just stopped grooming except certain spots
she can't stand leaving dirty when her arthritis started acting up a few
years ago. I have a feeling that she's not going to be with me much longer
so I'll gladly take care of the grooming duties.


I wish I could help. My aunts used to use this weird "dry shampoo" in
between
shampoos (I never did as I have always shampooed every day, when you're
showering anyway, why not?) that they worked in then combed out. It was
maybe cornstarch based? I think it helped to control oil? I wonder if there
isn't
something like that which would work on cats? Understanding that anything we
put on the cat's coat would have to be safe for her to ingest.
