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.

How many of you have cats that look like they should be in a hair commercial?
Edit: ITT, Send me cat pics
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.
Good nutrition too. That's a cat that gets the best and it shows.
Hot tip for humans: You too can have healthier hair if you eat better, get sleep, exercise and reduce stress!
(Unless you have baldness genes, in which case, shave that shit and own it.)
eat better, get sleep, exercise and reduce stress
I love this idea even though I'd probably need to quit my job.

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.
But how will we know if it's in our saliva if we never lick ourselves clean?

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

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.
I have owned many cats, and I have huffed deeply of them all.
Cat fur, cat toes, cat bellies, all have these unique and wonderful scents that are probably more connected to our emotional connections to them than the actual nature of the scent itself. This should teach us a lot about social conditioning and our senses.

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

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
You don't need shampoo or conditioner except sometimes medicinally!
It's been 2 years now since I've used shampoo, just been rinsing with water only since. I'm no cosmetologist but my hair feels perfectly normal and healthy, and without telling him anything's changed, my barber hasn't been able to tell a difference. The first few weeks after stopping using shampoo my hair did get pretty greasy, but it eventually settled down and now it's totally fine. Instead of stripping away the natural oils with shampoo and replacing them with the synthetic oils in conditioner, just let your natural oils come back. Granted, this doesn't apply to everyone, I am lucky enough to have a hair type that I'm able to do this with.
Your barber probably wouldn’t tell you if they think your hair is kinda gross unless it was so bad they wanted to reject you as a client.
lol that's true but I should've said that I asked him how my scalp looks (since I can't really look at it closely myself), and he said "yeah seems fine, maybe a little dry." That is one thing that I noticed during the winter that dandruff got a little worse since skin dries out during the winter, but when it warms back up the dandruff dies down again. So again just to be clear, not everyone can stop using shampoo/conditioner especially if they have some kind of scalp condition, but for those people with the right hair type, it's totally fine and really not a big deal at all. You don't stink, your hair doesn't smell like anything at all really (as long as you are still regularly taking showers, I'm not saying to stop taking showers lol).

That something is hairballs.
Btw, i use shampoo with urea (skin issues) and noticed it makes the hair stronger and glossier.
you want to polish up a cat, brush him. My boy Harry would shine up so bright after a good brush. My current girl Izzy is kinda frizzy anyway but she'll take a satin finish.
