Nina,
Yes, sorry Saline solution, I use "Opti-Free Express Lasting Comfort No Rub" . Have you tried like a spray conditioner for his coat. They also have mits that you can use so the cats get stroaked by you and combed at the same time. Since all mine are used to it, they really do not enjoy it but they are used to it it takes no time to bathe them I can usually do one an hour, then it only takes 20 minutes a night while my son and I are watching TV for the combing ritual. They do not all enjoy that eaither, but I have to do it, so usually I lay them on their backs and hold the scruff of the neck and use a comb and a rake for them. Hope this helps.

Hey Cherie,
Just to clarify, when you say "contact lens solution" you mean saline,
right? There are contact lens solutions that are cleaners and you
wouldn't want to put that in anybody's eyes! My Timmy has fairly long
hair and since he's begun shedding, he's got some small mats
developing. He hates to be brushed. Even when I try to sneak some
detangling activity into our snuggle sessions, he'll walk off in a
huff. Is there a detangler that you can use on a dry coat to help with
this? I can just see myself trying to blow dry my cats! How did you
get them used to this? Crimeny, 5 long haired cats! How do you find
the time to keep up with their grooming?
