Does your cat like being groomed with a brush?

I have the Found Cats at least tolerating the Shredder,and I am teaching the Kitten Trio early that grooming can be Fun.
With Treats,all things are possible.

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.

You need a choice of "positively hates it and whines the whole time"....

That would be my two....

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!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Oops, didn't see it was "multiple answers possible"
Maya: tolerates it, but keep it short please....
Inka: HATES it!! Watch her nails
Zazou: loves it and switches on her "pur-engine" on full speed!
Snoopy: she is gone before you have the chance to pick up your brush

He he, 4 cats, 4 times different!!

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!

Sidney and Joxer both love it. Strauss is coming around. Not so for little girl. Jan doesn't care for it at all.

btw - the favorite brush is my green handled brush that I bought 20 years ago for Lucy and Suds - my kitties at that time. Suds liked being brushed so much that I just had to sit on the living room floor, run my fingers through the metal bristles on the brush, and she would come running up to be brushed.

That's Peppito! With him, better wear metal gloves if you want to try, or if you want to keep your hand!

Jasmine likes it. Once you've caught her (she loves escaping when you try to catch her) she's very cooperative, starts purring, lays on one side, and when it's finished, she turns on the other side! She's a princess!
