Fearsome Fluffiness
...
Hard to believe that this roundy little fellow is the same scrawny cat I picked off of the street, back in September.
It seems as if there are places that Smog cannot reach when he is grooming. This is probably due to the fact that his skeleton is distorted, thanks to a trauma in his earlier life. He has amazingly thick hair, and gets big mats on his haunches.
I tried to trim out this mats this weekend, and now it looks like the poor cats was attacked by a scissor-wielding five-year-old.

it's hard to believe that it is the same cat you showed on the blog shortly after you picked him up:)
long hair cats need food that helps them maintain the fur in prime condition. Having had long hair cats, I am most aware of that not all cat food is the same, or equally good for every cat. I especially remember one brand that destroyed the fur completely on my norwegian forest cat. It became totally matted and had to be shaved off completely by a professional. If you try different brands you may find a food that will help Smog keep his fur in best condition. Maybe you can ask for help in a pet store to find the right food for him, or try to google it:)
