Morcilla LOVES her daily wet combing, followed by a dollop of malt paste on her paw. Many years ago now my American in Paris pal Nancy told me about wet combing and there’s been no going back. Well okay, it’s apparently not for everyone, but both Azar and Morcilla were/are huge fans. In fact if Morcilla hasn’t had her “wet combing session” by noon she gets very vocal about it. Luna, of course, hates it. But at least she loves the malt so that helps with hair balls (though not with leaving fur on every surface everywhere, like she cares).

Try it on your cat! Just get a comb, run it under the tap for 2-3 seconds, then lightly shake it out leaving small droplets between the teeth… and comb away. The moisture not only picks up a LOT more hair but it also refreshes the coat, removing any dust. I comb in the direction of the fur growth first, then backwards, then back again. This girl can’t get enough of it.
