Asha, Thanks I will try the water thing, My radiators are very narrow so finding something that will fit on them is challenging
Yes that is Asia, His fur is a dark gray smile

Rosie Asia is beuatiful and I am sure over the time you have been with Bella Online Asia has gained a huge following of admirers, of which I am but one smile.

I do not find immediate suggestions coming to mind for something thin to top radiators, but I know I have often experimented with different containers to find what does work and have always found something (and I have lived in a lot of different places!). I have also kept heating down to save on fuel costs, but am aware that cats often gravitate towards warmth - whether the warmth of their owners or heating...

Good luck!

You do want to be careful, though, about the ingredients. Things that are safe for humans and some other animals can be quite toxic for cats. And they groom themselves a lot after being washed. So it is wise to make sure whatever detangler you use is established to be safe for felines.

There is a company called Eqyss that makes very good pet shampoos and conditioners that are safe for cats.

Lol! That I would love to see!

My Coton dog, Ophelia, is a Rastafurrian, too! And whenever I give our cats catnip, she is right in there, snuffling it up!

In the summer, I cut off the dreads, and she gets sort of a punk looking puppy cut (I am not highly skilled as a dog groomer). At least she can avoid all the stickers and burrs, and be relatively comfortable in southern CA summer weather.

Cheers!

Angela, thanks for asking
I tried the conditioner (for CATS) on him
What a nightmare he doesn't like water
So now i have to order him some stuff i can spray on him and brush it through no water needed
I won't give up

Rosie have you always known he doesn't like water? I ask because I wonder if it's a reaction because of how he's feeling at the moment or one he's always had (let me know if this doesn't make sense!)

Asha, He would always let me put warm water by my hand over his back and sides at the sink
But the conditioner took loner to wash out so he got very agitated with the whole thing
That's why I've decided to use something that needs no water or little water
Thanks 4 asking about my Asia

Rosie I see what you mean. A little water, lightly given, is OK. Washing and rinsing is too much. Let us know how the spray goes - sounds gentler, less invasive.
