'tis the “off with the summer coat, on with the winter coat” season. will they let you comb them? i can absolutely endorse hills science diet indoor cat. it has worked wonders with malenka the miraculous. although, nod the naughty still retains the title “the regurgitator”. she will not tolerate combing. i do sneak in a few strokes while she sleeps. she wakes up points first. must be very quick. ---

[QUOTE=rocking chair] will they let you comb them? [/QUOTE] AC & I have discussed this before but never came to a decision. ---

I always fed them either Iams or Purina ONE. Nicky only threw up when he ate too much too fast, so I would suggest reducing the amount of food you put out. They both always loved brushing, but I forgot to bring it with them, and I ended up taking it to **danceswithcats’** house for his cats. If they’ll let you get close enough yet, they should enjoy brushing. ---

The problem seems to have corrected itself. It’s been about a week and no strange lumps have turned up. ---

[We’re back to this not working out](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=445475&highlight=kitties) and the situation is not good. I hate to pass them along but it seems that is the only viable solution. We’d prefer another Doper who could give **Bib** and **Dances** regular updates.
