    My Luna loves being brushed! I only need to ask her if she wants to, or show the brush to her, and she comes running. She's usually in my lap when I brush her, and all the time, she's purring and gives lots of headbumpies. Sometimes, our grooming sessions lasts half an hour, or even more.

    Lily tolerates it, but she doesn't like it as much as Luna. She's also purring, but would walk away after a couple of minutes.

    Of my four girls, only Grey Girl *really* loves it. Pull out the brush and she's ready to go! Her purr-motor starts at the sight of the brush. Crazy lady, though, she likes to sniff and try to eat the loose hair before I can throw it outside. Silly Grey Girl doesn't realize that there is no point in brushing to prevent hairballs if you're just going to eat the hair anyway!

    There is an understanding in the Campbell house, you live here, you get brushed and combed at least 3 times a week(or more depends on my work schedule). It ABSOLUTELY makes a BIG difference in the amount of fur balls I am cleaning up during shedding season!!!

    My oldest, Mollie Rose, was groomed from the time she was a baby and absolutely LOVES it!! All I have to do is tap the comb and she comes running. Shortie also loves to get in on the action.

    The others can take it or leave it.

    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

    Zsa-Zsa tolerates it. If it's a normal soft grooming brush to just keep her fur smooth, she doesn't mind so much. It's only when we use the comb, in case she has and lugs and knots, that she gets angry after a while. She never raises a paw, and we only use it very gently, but she doesn't half growl and hiss!

    I agree with Edwina's Secretary, and maybe you could add "hates it and screams like a banshee." That would be Sassy. The other two are OK with it. Now that shedding season is here, I've been trying to corner Sassy and brush him, but I am sadly unequal to the task. It's time to take Sassy to the grooming wizards at Petco!
