Matts& knotts
My 6 year old tabby has been getting mats all over his fur. Every year he's
been getting these mats more and more. During the winter it's really bad but in the summer they get better. This year though they did not get better. I try combing them, cutting them out but I feel I'm not getting any results. I have noticed though that his skin is dry and I see flakes. Anyone have any suggestions? John |

I split one can between the three, once a day, and even that small amount has made a difference. kili |

I don't know about the mats but in the winter Persia gets dry, flaky skin. I got some Dermcaps liquid to squirt on her food. It really seems to help a lot. (She doesn't care for the canned version of the prescription x/d formula she has to eat.) Jill |

BTW, each Summer I get my Tiffy groomed - you can see pix he http://www.flippyscatpage.com/tiffany-pictures01.html. It is the only time that Tiffy can properly clean her skin. I can tell she loves being groomed because afterwards she walks around with a spring in her step! Flippy in Melbourne, Australia. Catpage: http://www.flippyscatpage.com |

I can tell she loves being groomed because afterwards she walks around with a spring in her step! Hi Flippy, Since I haven't seen them in ages, I took a peek at your cat pictures. Some of them are new to me. Jetson is looking so good! Is he still in love with Tiffy? Has she let her guard down at all? He's such a handsome lad, what more could she want? I love his name, too. And LOL at Chloe in the computer case! At first I thought she was inside a toy bus or something; she looks like a ticket collector at the ready. ;o) And sweet Romeo... aw. I'm sure you miss him as much as I miss my Frank. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.
