Cat "bath wipes"
NOTE: Persia is doing much better, thanks for everyone's suggestions and
purrs! 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? Jill |

Jill when Bunter became really ill and stopped grooming himself, it became my job to keep him clean. The pet wipes worked great on him - and we both liked the way he smelled afterwards. Brenda |

Jill 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. Bob |

I've had Psycho for 11 years and she still must sniff my hand before I can pet her. I don't recall the name, but they're available from all of the major pet stores. Back when my brother was working on adopting the late Mr. Grey, he had a very powerful odor about him. He was a beautiful, very snuggly cat, but he smelled *so* very bad! There's no way he'd settle for taking a bath, so I brought him a package of kitty bath wipes. Mr. Grey didn't mind them, and they made him smell a whole bunch better. |

Bob 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! Jill |

Jill Ooooh, I'm glad you posted about these! I am going to get some for DH's office cat, Ozzy, who is the *dirtiest* cat I've ever known. Maybe the next time I pet him, my hands won't be black when I'm finished. ;-) I'm glad to read that Persia is feeling better - please give her a scritch for me. ------ Krista |
