Does your cat like being brushed?

[Uabassoon]

Tibby doesn't mind it too much, but she thinks we are playing a game so she tries to eat the brush most of the time. Corkscrew hates being brushed, sometimes if he's half alseep he'll let me brush him.

Mollie Rose = Loves is and comes running when I tap the comb on the chair.

MooShoo = Hates it. He SHOULD, he has no fur! LOL

Maya Linn = Can take it or leave it.

Doogie = Is okay with it but bites the comb after a while.

Carley the Curly Girl = Loves it, lays in my arms like a baby to have her belly comed.

Eli = Loves it.

Shortie = Loves it. Butts in whenever I comb anybody or even have the comb in my hand.

General consensus - YUP!!

Ananda the shorthair LOVES to be brushed

Loki the longhair Hates it and will start biting/snapping at about the third stroke...

Trevor ~ loves it. Will follow you to the end of the earth if you have a brush in your hand.

Andy ~ puts up with it but usually ends up biting the brush.

Toby doesn't mind it .. although most of the time i have to walk around the room following him with the brush cause he just won't sit still!

my sammy used to think that it was a game, he would grab the brush wrestle with it, strangle it and kick it with his back feet, not ever waiting long enough to see if it felt good or not, but he was recently neutered,and the vet tech brushed him, I guess while he was still groggy from the surgery, when I went to pick him up, the girl had him in his lap brushing him, and sammy was purring like a motor boat! Now he loves it!!!l

Felicia has to have her fur brushed every night just after I get into bed.

Beau does not like to be brushed for too long.

Storm seems to enjoy it and won't fight me. He's usually purring too. His mind is on the treat he gets afterward. This is why he's so cooperative. The only problem is that he thinks that when I get the brush out or after I brush one of his brothers that he deserves a treat. He doesn't get the concept that he must be brushed first then he gets the treat.

Sunny can be good some of the time. I sometimes have to chase him around and catch him before I can brush him. Sometimes he enjoys it so much that he'll just stretch out and roll over to be sure that I don't miss a spot. Other times he's so wiggly and uncooperative that I have to keep chasing him each time I clean the brush out.

Cirrus loves to be brushed. He'll stretch out and start purring very loudly. I haven't tried to brush his belly yet but maybe some day.

Kylie tolerates it.
She lets me brush her back and chest but her belly that needs it NO WAY!

[AmberLee]

Cassy (DSH) adores it -- thinks brushing is a kind of treat itself.

Livvy (DLH) tolerates it, sigh... And she's the one with furball problems, of course.

Elvis can be in a dead sleep and if you open the drawer that his brush is in he'll come running. You could brush him for hours (even the "wrong" way!) and he'll never get enough. The other cats get a little tweaked out by it. Almost like they sort of like it, but it gets them all over-stimulated and they might bite the brush or scratch your hand.

There wasn't an option for Edwina. She allows it but HATES, HATES, HATES being brushed. She would rather have her nails clipped. During brushing she growls, hiss, and moans. She has short but very thick fur. In the winter we keep the house rather cool (especially in the day time) so her coat gets really dense.

Here she is making faces.....

Ah, how could I forget that option for Lady Edwina! How generous of you to let your secretary do something to you you're detesting so much!

Great picture!
