NOTE: Persia is doing much better, thanks for everyone's suggestions

In the winter time, Persia gets a lot of dandruff on her
hindquarters. I brush her frequently; she adores being brushed.
Just the sight of it makes her run and jump up in my lap

I got some "bath wipes" made for cats. When she was obviously
feeling much better earlier this week (playing with toys and such) I
decided to give one a try. First I let her sniff it so she wouldn't
freak out. (Did I ever tell you the story of my white gloves? No?
Ask, I'll post it )

Then I started stroking her with the bath wipe, both with and
against the fur. I guess to her it just felt like a nice rub-down.
It did not leave a residue on her and she was completely dry in just
a minute or two. Lo! and Behold! No dandruff! And she smelled
even sweeter than she normall does, even though the bath wipes are
unscented.

Anyone else ever try these things? If so, what are your experiences?

Do you remember the name of them? My Psycho has the same problem. IN
fact she lost some hair on her back by her tail this fall because of
dry skin. I'm sure she would love them. Also is Persia one of those
cats
that must smell everything first? I've had Psycho for 11 years and she
still must sniff my hand before I can pet her.

They are called Perfect Coat bath wipes; ordered them from
www.drsfostersmith.com

No, Persia doesn't have to sniff everything, but I thought since she'd been
ill it would be a good idea to let her smell them first. She got a bit
freaky since when she thought I was going to just pet her I wound up
sticking a medicine dropper in her mouth!
