HI all
I have Silver Tabby and white MC and a ginger and white selkirk rex variant and first shows coming up soon. I have had recomendations re shampoo but does anyone else have a silver tabby cat and can recomend a shampoo? I have some groomers goop and woolite etc it's just whcih shampoo to choose.
Many Thanks
Allison

Hi Allison,

The Jerob texturising shampoo from Smylee pets for your Maine Coon, it will be fine for a silver and white Maine coon. I would also suggest Jerob shampoo for your Selkirk rex but the coconut and mink oil shampoo as a friend of mine has Selkirks and loves this shampoo. I have sent you this link for you to rummage through,there are other grooming products on this site so hopefully you will find what you want.

I am awaiting a order of herbal shampoo to use that as a first shampoo for my cat so will let you know how it goes. Be careful with shampoos with colour enhancements, they can often stain the coat which you need to avoid at all costs Smylee pets order form

Good luck!

Forgot to say one of my boys is a red silver tabby and these shampoos bring his coat up just lovely

ALL the Jerob stuff is great - although expensive!! - you may struggle at the moment though as Smylee are out of the texturising and a lot of others and are waiting for it to come from the USA. I have been toppiong up my supply from Paws for Thought at shows. if anyone had told me 2 years ago how much i would spend on shampoo for cats I would have laughed at them !!!

Thanks both for the advice and I'll try and order some today.

Also well done Carol last sat with your little selkirk, I saw a piccy of him on cat plantet and so recognised him from sat! He is lovely, Stan is very differant though being a variant but still adorabel! See you on the 10th getting excited now!! lol
Thanks again both
Allison

PS just thinking should I use just a normal shampoo or someone did suggest johnsons baby shampoo as a first shampoo and then use the expensive one as a second?

Hi Carol,

Sara managed to get me a small bottle of the herbal on Saturday, she told me supplies were running low! I have tons of texturising left thank god lol!

I know what you mean about the cost of shampoos. I get the basic cheapy shampoo for my hair and the cats get all the posh stuff, something wrong with that somewhere lol

Hi,

I used to use John Frieda volumnising shampoo or herbal essence as a first shampoo, both were very good, as long as you finish with the expensive one then you will be fine, I have been totally amazed with the Jerob shampoos and the difference they make to the coats. I wouldn't go back to any other shampoo now I don't think!

BTW yes Carols Selkirks are gorgeous aren't they lol!

I use Ring 5 Bright White shampoo & also Vitacoat Cat & Kitten Shampoo & use Vitacoat conditioner. I also use Groomers Goop on my Maine Coon as they have greasy coats - it helps with getting rid of the grease behind their ears, around their tail & any white looks less yellow. I also use Woolite for my MC too. I fill the base of my bath to about two inches, & pour a cap of it in, as it helps permeate the MC's waterproof coat.

Thanksfully MCs are straightforwards.

I just want to say, get a Siamese. Make sure their bum is clean, ears/eyes, get them in the carrier and leave

Quick update, I have orderd the Jerob textursing and the other one, sorry forgot the type now and list is at work !LOL Had mint in, thats for Stan. I had order confirmation from Smylee pets so must be back in stock.

Just some white vinegar now for final rinse and I'm all ready for the big bath next week. I've even bought a special little shower head adapter as my shower isn't over the bath whcih should make rinsing easier and I have been told so many times that rinsing is VERY important. I'll do some before and after pics next week.
Well thanks agin all
Allison

Thanks Allison, must phone Smylees to see if mine is in as have had it on order for ages now
