Otis demands brushing.

Sorry to be so late with answering this post.

Chris H, I actually had to hide the brush, because it is not only Otis who loves to be brushed, but there are others as well. Sometimes I do not have the time to brush all who want it, and besides, Otis is not the only cat who "hogs" the brush It is difficult to get them to sit still long enough to really brush them, including their underside as well. I do not know of any cat that does not like to be brushed, except when they first see a brush, sometimes they will become afraid of it and run off. I tried in on Chris, and he becomes more animated than he normally is, and tries to attack the brush! I was reading the other day about Russian Blues, that they need brushing at least several times a week in order to keep their coat silky. I'll have to keep the brush out so when I sit down to watch TV, I'll also have it ready to brush Puma when she comes for scritchies and sleepies! As far as brushes go, I have found that regular $2.00 scrub/dish brushes works just as well as a pet brush, and in fact, some of my menagerie likes them better.
