Cat don't really like baths so I can suggest these things: 1. A [fish oil supplement](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/wild-alaskan-salmon-oil-cat-food-supplement) that can be mixed into their food. 2. Use a [waterless shampoo](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/tropiclean-waterless-cat-shampoo-deep-cleaning) product instead of traditional bathing. 3. Daily brushing. Brushing helps to stimulate the normal oils in the skin. Hope this help. Best wishes!

Hi there, a good food recommendation for Theo and Furby is Royal Canin intense beauty - Its a High quality cat food, very tasty and good for the skin And coat. I also would suggest gentle brushing once daily to stimulate the loose hair and dandruff to come off. If their coat is very greasy, you may need to bathe them, if they are not fans of water, you could do a wash cloth bath instead of soaking them. Some cats can't groom themselves if they are overweight, so you can check their weight with your vet when they next have a routine exam.

Purina Proplan is one of the three highest quality foods I recommend to clients. The other two are Royal Canin and Hills. They follow veterinary nutritionist guidelines and current evidence based research. Gluten intolerance is extremely rare in pets and gluten content has no bearing on a food's quality. It is also important to not overfeed protein as it can harm the kidneys, so foods with higher meat content may not be better. I hope this helps.

Do not combine foods, this causes GI upset. Brands of food I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, and Iams. I recommend these foods because they run their own feeding trials, meet AAFCO standards, and have veterinary nutritionists on staff. They are the only four brands to do this. I think an indoor cat formula would be best for Storm. As for water, get a pet water fountain. It provides a constant source of fresh water, and encourages cats to drink. I have one for my cats, and they love it. Don't change litter if he has one he likes. Cats are very picky about litter, and a change in litter can lead to them not using their box.

To help prevent skin issues, feed a high quality diet (I like Purina ProPlan, Hills Science Diet, and Royal Canin - don't worry about being grain free, that's a fad and not actually related at all to pet health) and keep Noushmc on an oral flea preventative, ideally from your veterinarian (not all over the counter options are created equally). Cats don't need routine bathing because they do a great job of keeping themselves clean. Shampoos can actually dry out their skin and cause problems. You never need to bathe her, but if she's particularly dirty you can bathe her up to once a month (again, I don't recommend this regularly) with a pet shampoo.
