Cat owners - advice needed

[blue_roses_lib]

I have 2 babies, one a long haired Manx mix and one a domestic shorthair. I am in Alaska, and right now we are going through a cold dry spell. I noticed in the past couple of days that whenever I touch the shorthaired one, Shelby, I am getting zinged with static electricity. Is this dry fur and or dry scalp? What can I do to help with this? I've shocked the poor guy about a dozen times on the nose, top of the head, above the tail, etc... I feed dry food only, maybe add some wet to his diet for now? Is there oil or anything? This is new to me; I don't remember having this problem with him before. Maybe he's turning into a grumpy old man. :wink: Seriously, any advice would be appreciated.



And because the other boy gets jealous if I don't include him, here's a shot of him. His name is Tank~
