    All of ours have seemed to go through this stage - they look really ropey!

    Yes, Hobbes picks up an amazing amount of stuff on the underside of his tail - there are conifers on our neighbour's side of the fence and the dead bits blow into the cat run through the mesh - and conifer is REALLY hard to pick/brush out!

    I promise I'll post a photo when we've had the dirty deed done! Poor Spike - he is such a dignified old chap, it seems a shame to laugh at him. Actually, when I watched the "Cats" DVD recently, I thought of Spike - "Bustopher Jones in White Spats" .....that's my old lad...."no commonplace mousers have such well-cut trousers, or such an immaculate back"

    I got the smaller one too. I do have a problem that I can't sort and that is the Brisca has a huge Mat between her front legs that I cant get off. Anyone know of a cat wrangler in the north east?

    Oh I know that look, our two love to play on the border under a bush as there is a couple of big rocks on there so they play on those I try to grab them before they come back in to dust off their tails.

    I will resize a couple of the photos Hector looks really good on them!

    My sister nicknamed Duster for this very reason! She doesn't go out in the garden yet but she's great at finding fluff in places I didn't know I had!

    I like that "Duster" seems really appropriate, can be embarassing when you get visitors and they are hiding behind the sofa, eventually appearing when they feel confident enough to do so and their tail is covered in dust and bits !!!
