Thread: Fur balls and yet more fur balls!

No fur balls here yet, but my MCs aren't quite a year yet. It is hot here (although they are only in the AC) and they are shedding. The Furminator has helped a great deal I think. They had baths yesterday, so the fur is coming out like mad, but no fur balls yet.

My MC, who died last summer at 13, had a fur ball about once a year.

Baths? Er, am I supposed to bath them??? Eek!

We have'nt bathed Louie since he fell down the loo that time but it had been flushed & he bathed himself when he fell in the bath, good job it was'nt red hot bad luck for OH though

I think I'd end up in hospital if I tried to bath Simba

Falling in the bath could happen any day now in our house. They are fascinated by what goes on in the bathtub and they sit on the loo (lid down obviously) to get a better view. They have started licking the taps, and they have both tried walking along the side of the bath when I'm in it.

I think this is the only way they're going to get bathed!

While I'm on the subject, does anyone really clean their cat's teeth??? Is this possible?

Louie is outside evertime it rains so showers himself once tried to clean our old MC's teeth never again, hooligan that he was, I think the MC food is shaped for keeping teeth clean & healthy but dont quote me on that

Eek time to start shuting the bathroom door I think, they both wander in to say hi when I'm in the bath but only go as far as putting their paws on the side of the bath.

Wow! Thanks for all the input. I tried bathing Brisca and put it this way, I won't be doing it again in a hurry! Got the paste but they wont touch it!! I haven't had a fur ball for a week now (touch wood) so fingers crossed we are over the worst. I'm going to reduce my brushing too. I think I got over excited with the arrival of the furminator!!
