Hi everyone,
I have a 1 1/2 yr old blue lynx himalayan. Beautiful kitty with very long, very silky fur. She allows me to comb her back, tail without too much fuss, but when it comes to her belly, she cuts a shine, growls, struggles to get away and has tried to bite me. I brush her at the very least daily, sometimes twice a day, and I have used several different types of combs/brushes with no different reaction. What works best is a fine tooth brush, because it effectively removes loose dead hair and as a result does a better job..quicker.
Anyone have any ideas how to make this needed chore a little easier to tolerate?
I should add here that she detests being picked and held, so that may very well be part of her problem, because when I comb her belly I have to hold her.
Thanks in advance.
