Cat Dont Like Brushing

For less than $10.00 you can get one of these online. I couldn't find them on Petsmart's website, but Petco has them.

Did you happen to post a picture of your cat out here? I know I put up a picture of the grooming tools I use... but I should put up a picture of all the ones I have that I don't use. I think I have enough inventory to stock a pet store between the grooming tools I've bought and the ones I've inhereted from friends! I have a whole grooming station I keep next to me on the couch so they're always accessible when a cat is on my lap! It includes their combs, the glovie, nail clippers, eye goop cleaner... and ofcourse cat treats! I think by keeping them always in reach it allows me to keep grooming an informal process that can be started and stopped whenever. I think if I tried to make grooming a big ordeal my cats would have no part of it. The big issue with my scheme comes when I need to comb one of their belly fur. They don't like that too much!

Thanks for your continued help. I do have a shedding blade that I use when I can. I can only brush the cat for a very, very short while before he starts growling at me. If I'm foolish enough to continue he will either bite or scratch me. I'd try the treats but the cat has a very sensitive stomach. He likes to think that he's big and tough, but he's really just a big baby. I haven't posted a picture because I haven't taken the time to figure out how to do it yet.

I have a short hair white female, who sheds A LOT. She has a love glove, I put fresh catnip on my floor, and while she was playing and rubbing on it, I petted her a few times, then I slipped on the loveglove, and pet her a couple strokes with it. AT first it scared her, but once I got a little fur out, she LOVES brushing. She also has a zoom groom, and loves that as well. She likes almost any kind of comb/brush. But she especially loves to be brushed while she is rolling in catnip ???? Just her though.
