We'd gotten Reagan's shedding problem under control. That being the case, with Whisper not needing to be brushed (short-haired and *very* well self-groomed), we haven't been needing to look into a new brush/comb for the cats, though I'd still like to get something for Reagan.
For short-haired cats, what do you think about those grooming gloves? Do they pick up much of the hair on a short-hair? In case Reagan starts up again in the spring when the weather is warmer, I'd like to have a solution. The change in food helped (I think it might have been an allergy) but when she sheds, she sheds *copiously* and I really think that the warmer weather is going to cause at least some shedding (though we have months for that!).
What about a curry comb?
As for Molly, she's long-haired. I've not had a whole lot of luck with brushes for long-haired cats, other than the slicker brushes, and I think that introducing her to a slicker brush right off the bat could spell disaster. She'll also need to be combed around her back end and her haunches, I'm sure. Should we go with a fine-toothed comb, or not?
What do you think about the slickers? Good idea or not? I feel as though they probably feel scratchy to the cat
