Mojo's mats got worse, but we combed or cut them out.
His coat is coming in, and it's really nice. It's smooth and shiny, except for a big swath on his back. The swath of fur on his back is kind of rough feeling (just rougher than the rest), and it's also a bit apricot colored.
I combed his ears the other day, and man, almost half the hair on his ears fell out. That's where mats come from: hair that fell off and stuck.
Oh, he did something kind of gross while I was combing. While I comb, hair collects on the brush. Every once in a while I pull the hair off of the brush and put it in a small pile. The pile gets kinda big after a while.
Well, I looked away, then heard Mojo chewing something. I turned back to see what it was, and noticed the pile of hair was gone. Oh no! He was chewing his dead hair! Before I could do anything, he swallowed his hairball. Gross!
No harm done, as far as I can tell.
Lastly, he's pooped outside twice since we got back. Not sure what the deal is with that.
