A good diet and regular grooming. She also has evening primrose oil around once a week.

You'll have to post a picture of cinders in the misc breed, lots of people have cats too. We have a 4/5 year old ex rescue called Hermes who is one of the fluffiest cats I have ever met  :luv:

Hiya and welcome to COL  ;)

What do you feed Bilba on? This may have an effect on her coat (look at some of the feed threads, most like BARF, Burns, JWB, arden Grange or Autarky, altho there are loads of others too  ;)  I use Autarky with my two  ;) )

I have Fern working cocker and Jock black lab

Hope you enjoy and get loads of constructive info off COL  ;)

hi ,thanks for that,i am thinking off trying her on different foods,shes feed hills at the minute with steamed chicken,but also took her to the vets today and he said she is fat >:( (posted on another thread) ,and has colitis so will have to rethink her diet,thanks for the welcome words though ;)
