I'm new to cat ownership, inhereted my Mom's old cat...
this is my second summer with him and It's very hot this summer in Texas...
"Boy" is still sheading very much. I brush him every night out on the back porch when it cools down...
The vet ( a really nice older fellow who took care of all my Beagles) pronounced him " a fine old cat" , and he seems healthy and happy..
but when he "cleans" himself ( a very interesting activity compared to the dogs I've owned)...sometimes he sort of Chews out big mouthfulls of hair..
this leaves a small bald spot for just maybe a day or so, then the new hair is quite fluffy...
Oh, also... do cats get baths?
I gave him a little bath outside when I first got him with a little baby shampoo because he smelled kinda funny... he sat there and I thought sort of liked it...
but my SO said " what are you doing? cats don't take baths!"
Thanks, Eric Austin Tx.
