@anemone you know what you may be right, I always considered them to be smooth and soft and dogs kinds scritchy and rough

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz dogs can be very soft too but cats are more smooth and sleek because of their grease. Geckos are the softest though

@anemone this revelation is a bit mind blowing to me, I guess my cat was greasy

@anemone @georgia I bathe mine from time to time and I can confirm because a clean coat is fluffy

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz it helps keep them clean and water resistant. apparently part of why they groom themselves so much is to stimulate sebum production and then spread it evenly on their coat.

@anemone most mammals are oily. Even human hair is covered in oil.
