Isn't it amazing what comes up from our kitties with a good brushing? Groucho has always hated to be brushed so recently I tried a shedding blade for cats. He tolerates that a bit better though not for long. The blade really gets a lot of loose fur, more than enough for another Groucho or two. I just wish he'd be better about being groomed. Even telling him that his lovely Inka will find him even more handsome doesn't seem to help.
