Early Caturday Pictures

Since I'll be in L.A. this weekend and I don't know if I'll be able to post some cat photos for Caturday (or even remember), here's some photos of Sierra in the den taken yesterday.

 

Unmat Cat Fur With Olive Oil

Well, since today is Caturday...

My cat Sierra developed a couple of spots of matted fur on her back. I regularly brushed her, but they stayed.

Then I discovered a cheap home remedy to get rid of matted fur: olive oil.

According to abodeforpets.com:

Olive Oil has proven to be extremely effective at removing mats and tangles in cat fur. It is cheap, quick and easy to use and can provide some excellent results if you are patient.

Simply add a teaspoon of olive oil to each of the mats in your cat’s fur and leave it to do its work. If the mat hasn’t fallen out over three days but shows signs of improvement repeat the process.

It is better to use too much oil than too little in this situation as it can help speed up results. Olive oil is also harmless to your cat meaning there are no side effects to its skin, fur or stomach if ingested.

I started using it early this week and today, I found the mats completely gone. This remedy actually works!
