Fur matting in the heat

I find the comb with two length teeth pull a lot more & if by mistake I pull that through I am soon told not so likely mum, mine is a steel dog comb with wider teeth one end,digs in deep & boy does it comb the dead hair out,slicker brushes are no good for getting knots out they are good for getting into the base of the coat & giving it a good lift or for just that nice "cor scratch just there mum" bonding session which mine all luv,slicker out they queue up for their turn.......

Kalli during her first bath! We should really have started bathing her when we got her as a kitten, not started now she's 2!! That said, it wasn't that bad, she jumped into the bath which wet her paws then we wet her with a cloth, and then rubbed in shampoo. A gentle wash with the showerhead then to rinse and dried her with a towel. She spent the evening grooming herself proper then. When she was dry, we put talcum powder on her. She's back to normal again with her beautiful coat. The humidity has gone too, so fingers crossed she'll stay mat free for a while!
