Dry winter weather is rough on pets too!

Dry winter weather is rough not only on our skin but on our pets skin too. Our cat is shedding like crazy, cat hair is everywhere! And to add to our kitty's issues, she's also go dandruff. I find myself putting little flannel receiving blankets around for my cat to lay on, they catch the cat hair and dander quite well. So it was time to give the cat a bath and groom her. We do this to help our kitty not get hair balls and to look as good as she most possibly can. But have you ever tried to wash a cat? Our kitty is getting more used to it since we go through this routine every 6 weeks or so. We have a special shampoo that's formulated just for cats and their skin needs. We set up the small space heater that used to be in my scrapbook nook in our base house- this gets really funny now. The cat sees the space heater and stands in front of it while it's turned on and actually let us groom her with the brush while she "blow dried" herself. Not once did she try to groom her fur herself, she let us all take turns brushing her (talk about amazing). The fur on our kitty was shimmering in the light, no more dandruff flakes, no more hairs shooting out all over, she's looking pretty and she knows it! Hannah takes on the cat washing duties and has become pretty good at it too. Our kitty doesn't seem to mind all of the extra attention. And this morning she's strutting around like a peacock with her shimmering shiny fur purring away.
