Bad pun for the subject there. Apologies. Old farts like me seem to lose their sophistication in humor along with our hair. Now, where'd I put my teeth?
... moving on.
With regard to keeping our fuzzlets' fur in good condition a good diet and clean habitat is blindingly obvious. It's sometimes necessary to give them a bath from time to time to remove stubborn stains etc. Baby shampoos and things like Aveeno (the really mild one) are used and with good results. My eldest, Pickles, has a really stubborn mane that is not part of her usual coloration. Short of using Tide (or Persil for you folks in the UK) I'm considering using a mild solution of Hydrogen Peroxide and brushing it through the fur with a soft toothbrush. Has anyone else tried this? Is it a good idea? Will peroxide do weird things to their skin? Will it strip the oils out of the fur to a point where the fur itself is hopelessly damaged? Will Wile E. Coyote ever catch the Road Runner?
Anyone out there able to throw me a bone? Or a yogi drop?
