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"
