Hi everyone... just found your site by accident trying to find out what my baby Pandora could be possibly be saying to the birds outside! :-)
Was wondering if anyone out there knows about "dreadlocks" on a long-hair...? Pandora is 3yrs old, her momma was persian and that's all I really know about her lineage. We have a huge basement where she likes to hide (needless to say, it's not too clean down there) and over the winter months I haven't wanted to bathe her due to the cold. She has consistantly over the past few months developed various sizes, but several, clumps of fur just about everywhere except her little head and belly. Sometimes I find a big fur-ball that has fallen off of her during the day! With the weather warming up, it'll be bath time soon, so I'm hoping to allieviate most of the clumpage simply with bathing. Is it ok to use a metal/wire brush on cats? I had a dog when I was younger and used a metal brush, but my little kitties just seem too fragile for that.
BTW.... the older baby, Jaz, well... he'll sit still as long as you wanna brush him... got 3 months to brush? he says "OK". Pandora on the otherhand WILL NOT TAKE A BRUSHIN TO SAVE HER LIFE!!!
Any suggestions, comments or the like will be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
AngelB, Jaz & Pandora
