Yebbut, that can't account for black cats and labradors with
glossy coats, who are only ever fed on a traditional diet,
can it?

What's more with cats and dogs being lower down, their coats are
more subject to pollution from the likes of cars exhausts,
than is human hair. Which is at least 5 feet higher off
the ground

And yet strangely enough nobody ever suggests washing the
cat with Garnier Balsom or Fructis "because he's worth it"
do they ? No. All the cat ever gets, even if he doesn't
actually need it, is extra oil in his Friskies. And yet
he spends half his time sitting under cars in the road.

And yet nobody ever suggests humans should maintain
glossy hair by simply taking an inexpensive oil capsule
every day, do they? Actually it would be interesting
to find out if anyone, at least since the Victorians
who had a pill for everything, has ever promoted a
dietry supplement specifically for the hair.

More especialy when they can gouge rather more out of the
more credulous, by selling them detergent replete with
unecessarily expensive ingredients, just "because they're
worth it".

But have you smelt your cat's fur recently?
