I've seen the cat food ads suggesting the same thing. Do people fall for this?

BTW, for those that care: Animal Planet is repeating their Broadcast of Crufts in the middle of the day. I saw a little of the first hour last night - post Numb3rs and they claim to be having a feature on the Korean Jindo.

No, but I am tempted to throw puppycat into the dryer with a Snuggle sheet. Just to see if that might help with her projectile shedding.

If your puppycat doesn't mind (hahahahaha) being bathed. . . you might do that.

A friend of mine with a longhaired cat whose shedding/tangling problem became terrible had her cat clipped at the vets. I'm sure that the clipping process was traumatic -- but the cat LOVED having shorter hair. She became a happier more outgoing cat.

::snorting laughter::

Because I don't self-injure enough?

Maybe you can rub the drier sheets on ze puppycat? (My longerhaired cat Tanuki LOVES drier sheets.)

That is an excellent idea. Ima go try that.

eta: *That* was amusing. No idea how it will help with the shedding but she's quite fresh smelling now.

My dad used to use the dustbuster on one of our cats - she loved it.

Timelies all!

Yay for Mr. Kitty!

My cat sheds year-round.(One of her nicknames is "The Lean, Mean Shedding Machine")

In a little while we will be heading to a friend's house for a Jane Austen movie day.

OK. I have showered and made and eaten a lovely avocado and cheese omelet with toast and coffee, and now I will listen to This American Life and then go down to school.

Sometimes. I already buy very expensive dog food (it'd be cheaper for me to buy them lean hamburger on a per pound basis) for my dogs because Mac has sensitivites which result in ugly cleaning issues if I try to switch her food. But I can say that the expensive stuff does bupkis for shedding issues.
