He's stinky around his chin. He eats, drinks and grooms but seems to mix up the order sometimes. His bib is always damp and when he grooms it he gets half his fur stuck in his mouth. If I trim it with the clippers he finds more fur to get stuck there.
He's not the most dignified cat in the world. I'm forever cleaning his eyes, they're constantly messy (I think he probably had cat-flu at some point) but the main part of his fur is lovely.
How do I buy/give salmon oil, that sounds like a winner?
Thanks Gillian I hoped you'd reply!
Ahhh! yes I see now about the stinky fur round the chin/ruff - I've got one, Honey, who used to get very messy like that, she always seemed to have a bit of fur in her mouth! As you say, it helps a bit keeping that area trimmed but they find that fur whatever you do LOL! I found that when mine were all eating dry food only some years back, it was worse, because they were constantly drinking, especially Honey who would literally have her head always over the water bowl, but its not like that now they all have wet food mainly. A little bit of non-fragranced talc (like Simple) worked into the area and then combed through can help a bit.
There are a couple of really good eye care products that I use - Eye Envy is one
http://eyeenvy.com/ - its a US product, but there is definitely one distributor in the UK in Surrey. A couple of downsides to it - its fairly expensive and it only has appprox 3 month shelf life even when stored in the fridge, but it is really effective. The other is Kleen-face
http://www.dezynadog.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=37&products_id=1072&osCsid=8...6cf40654fedf9ae2e941590a4 which is cheaper and doesnt need to be stored in the fridge.
Oh, and yes, H&B do salmon oil - in capsules, so you can just pierce the end with a pin and squeeze onto food, or straight into mouth haha!
