I do brush Cole fairly frequently. One of my latest tasks is to catch him when he has a tuft of fur hanging from his mouth, and is 'smacking' his jaws trying to get rid of it - but because of how a cat's tongue is, he can't spit it out.

So I feel like a mom with a toddler catching him to 'take that thing out of your mouth!'

Today I gave him a going over with the small Furminator type blade I have, and it was great. The rug should be free of many black tufts for quite a while! I also use a detangler from The Cat House - I spray it into the metal-toothed brush and apply it that way. It makes his fur very soft and less tangle-prone. He used to hate being groomed - now he purrs through it!

Oscar gets combed less often - though he will get one if he sees his brother getting groomed; he'll jump on the bed and want combing!

Thanks for the compliments.
