Questions & Answers
Question : Why do people blindly follow the dictates of society, as relates to their personal grooming?
Madison Avenue and the razor companies have run roughshod over nature as they have brainwashed people
into desecrating their bodies. Can you explain why we
are a nation of sheep and lemmings?
Apparently thinking is something people are not
comfortable with, otherwise there would be more answers to this question.
Answer:
That's a question I never stopped to think about, but it is
true that people have stopped thinking. For my part, I try
to distance myself from corporate marketing efforts and
make my own decisions. A long time ago there was a
book called a nation of sheep. I probably have not fully answered your question. Personally, I let nature prevail,
especially during the winter, if you know what I mean.

Question : Is it NECESSARY to buy lots of grooming products?
Is it really NECESSARY to buy things such as foot scrub, hand scrub, hand cream, foot cream? or even a body scrub? how about using a face scrub for your body/hand and feet? how about body lotion for hand and feet too? or are hand and feet products made for it cos its Necessary or is it made just to get customers to believe that they really NEED TO USE it?
Answer:
i only buy the basic grooming products. i use body lotion for my body, hand and feet (never use body lotion on the face because then body skin and the face are not the same). i even use my face scrub on the back of my body. (the face scrub have anti-acne properties in it, so i use it for my back because i have small acne there.
in my pov, theres no use to buy the complete set. but if u have severe skin condition that have special need, then buy them separately.

Answer:
A tabby cat is a cat with a distinctive coat that features stripes, dots, or swirling patterns. Tabbies are not a breed of cat...
FYI:
There are four tabby patterns that have been shown to be genetically distinct: mackerel, classic, spotted and ticked:
Mackerel (striped): This is by far the most common pattern, so much so that some people think it should have received the title "Classic." Mackerel tabbies have striped rings around their tail and legs, a "necklace" of stripes on the front of their chests, and bands of solid or broken stripes running down the sides of their bodies. They will have the darker color in spots running in two lines across their tummies (called "vest buttons.")
Classic: This pattern usually has whorls ending in a "target" on the side of the cat. Many American Shorthair cats demonstrate this pattern.
Spotted: The Ocicat and the American Bobtail are good examples of spotted tabby pattern, although some Moggies will also demonstrate this color pattern.
Agouti (Ticked): Most tabby cats will have agouti hairs as part of their pattern. If you look closely, you'll see different bands of color down the length of the cat's individual hairs. Cats with an all-ticked pattern almost shimmer in the sunlight, because of the color variation.
The reason I mention this it seems your question is asking about one type of cat (that is not a tabby)...if you change your question to say which tabby you are inquiring about, then we can answer properly :)

Question : My cocker spaniel has a lot of lipomas all over his body. How to get rid of them?
Had already surgery - removed about 60 bumps, but in some months they came back and even more. Hard to groom and itchy.
May be there are some medications? Help. ( He is 10 yo)
Answer:
The only way to get rid of them is surgery. However, they always come back.
Unless you want to have the dog keep getting surgery, just live with them. There is NO medication for them.

Question : im getting my first horse soon n there are afew questions id like to ask about grooming?
1. how often do you groom a field kept horse?
2. how often do you need to wash there tail
3. to brush the main and tail do you use a main comb or a body brush?
4. do you need to oil the hoofs?
5. do you need a water brush?
6. do you need to strap your horse?
Answer:
You need to grrom a field kept horse very little as it removes the natural oil in their coat - which protects them against the elements! If they are muddy - make sure you grrom properly where tack will go - other than that just remove the mud with a Dandy brush!
Tails dont need to be washed often - if they look dirty really!
You can use a body brush or mane comb, although a mane comb is used to help plait rather than grooming. A Dandy brush is also good for mane and tail!
Hoof oil is one of those things that can be pretty pointless in the winter - I used to do it every now and then to keep condition - and when showing as it looks noce!
I have never used a water brush in my life - apart from to clean my boots! You will need sponges though!
It is almost impossible to strap a horse with winter coat! It was something I used to do in the summer as it is the only time you can bring up the shine on a short summer coat!
Just to clarify strapping, its when you use a body brush and groom really well, with lots of strokes, you also use a metal curry comb to get the dust out of the body brush as you go along!
Best of luck!

Question : How do I stop my cat constanly grooming/cleaning to the point he has chewed his hair off one of his legs?
He's a ragdoll. Quite needy and has also lost weight and shedding hair quite dramatically from the mid to the back top part of his body. (Has been wormed and fleaed)
Answer:
If your cat hasn't been seen by a vet recently, then you need to take him in for a check up. He has a variety of symptoms and they may or may not be related. The excessive grooming could be due to parasites, inhaled allergens, food intolerance or even stress. If your cat isn't feeling well, this could make him stressed.
The articles below on skin allergies and food intolerance have lots of information which you may find helpful.

The average cat spends over a third of their waking day grooming. Not only does it keep their coat in good condition, it's also very therapeutic in relieving tension. However, if a cat is feeling stressed, they will use grooming as a diversionary activity - it's far more comforting than facing up to the problem. If the vet thinks it's stress related, he might suggest fitting him with an Elizabethan collar to prevent him from grooming. A Feliway plug in might help, as they emit an aroma that cats find comforting. (You'll need to use it for at least 3 weeks to see the full benefits.) If he'll allow you to groom him, spend more time doing this, as not only will it strengthen the bond between you, but it may reduce his desire to do it. Try also diverting his attention to something else, such as toys to see if this will help break the habit. Bach Flower Remedies can be helpful in treating stress or other emotional problems in cats. The web article below explains which ones to use and how to administer them.

Hope he will be okay.

Question : What does this hamster body language really mean?
I have two dwarf hamsters, both are 1.5 year old. I like to watch them grooming cos its so fun and cute. My fav is to see them rubbing their head with paws, before that, they even rubbing paws swiftly as if applying oil on it, lol. Well, I was checking out their body languages for fun and noticed one said thats its actually an act of tenderness. I wonder what does it really mean? I always take it as a usual cleaning and grooming though.
Answer:
I've always been told by my eldest brother- he's 29 and used to keep loads of rodents, snakes, etc.- that it means their happy. My hamsters always seem to be grooming themselves, so their obviously happy then.
