Now here's one of those domestic problems neither your mother nor Martha Stewart ever warn you about ... Since installing the air conditioning, all three of my cats have developed a horrific case of dandruff. Now, in addition to the usual cat-hair tumbleweeds that I'm forever chasing around the apartment, all my furniture is covered in little while specks. I turned to the web for advice. The first step, I'm told, is to brush the hell out of the cats for a few days straight to see if the dandruff can be exfoliated away. Barring that, say the articles in an offhand manner, simply give the cats an oatmeal bath. Clearly, the "expert" authors of these articles have never owned or been exposed to anything feline. I can see the news story already. "A local woman is dead tonight from multiple lacerations after apparently attempting to dunk three cats into a sinkful of oatmeal. Film at eleven."
