Kirby is almost 1 year old. His coat/fur is very unusual, it seems to be very "straggly" and "greasy" although he is not greasy. He looks like an alley cat. He is clean and combed but I can't seem to lose that "dirty" look. He grooms himself often but his fur doesn't change. I gave him a bath, and his hair gets fluffy for less than a day and goes right back to the way it was before he bathed. He has always looked this way. He appears to be healthy, although I have never seen another cat with this type of fur. Why is his fur this way? Thank you for your help! Kirby will thank you too.

Did you ever wonder why your cat's teeth are sharper and more pointed than your dog's? This is due to the fact that cats by nature are strict carnivores (meat eaters), while dogs are omnivores (eat a little of everything). The sharp teeth aid in catching prey and tearing flesh.
