Maybe they're onto something

The something is not scrubbing out all the oils with alkaline cleaners every single day forever.

Save money and use saliva. 😉

I can guarantee you that cat was brushed by a human just before that shot. No alley cat in the wild would ever look like that from just licking.

That something is hairballs.

you guys know that you don't have to shampoo and wash your hair right? It's really not that bad.

As long as you shower regularly and properly wash it it's literally fine.

If you don't believe me try it.

Also something related I never came to grips with: cat's breath = the stench of a thousand decaying corpses. Licks fur constantly. Fur = the smell of springtime itself.

My (unfortunately late) void had a scratching post with the top level just at my nose height, so whenever he lolled around there I made a point of taking a deep breath of fluffy freshness.

My scalp gets itchy if I don't shampoo at least once a week. Also if you have sweaty scalp you are gonna have a lot more oil build up that can collect dirt, grime and dead skin.

I have 2 cats, the orange has a thicker fur and it was never very soft but the tuxedo has a velvet, soft, shinny fur. It's so amazing that I pet her for too lomg sometimes and get a bitch slap

How many of you have cats that look like they should be in a hair commercial?

Edit: ITT, Send me cat pics

Also cat: my asshole tastes acceptable today. Also human: that asshole I just ate tastes acceptable today.

Obvious conclusion: cats and humans are genetically identical.

Note: works for fur only

It’s not implausible that, among the enzymes in cat saliva, there are some which evolved to maintain the condition of the cat’s coat.

I've noticed that after switching my cat to raw food his fur is a lot smoother.

You don't need shampoo or conditioner except sometimes medicinally!
