Cats will still shed and get dirty but they have less dry skin and things like that. Simby is black and has the silkiest coat. It can take some time (simba was on it no probs from day 1) but be patient, it pays off. They look healthy and are healthy - he's never sick except when he gets himself hit by cars!!! Start slowly if you like, simby loves his raw egg, has one a week. The others arent keen but they are into everything else.
