Elderly Lily likes to be groomed, but is not a self-groomer. I use a comb and also brush her . . . lately she is growing somewhat intolerant when I try to brush her underbelly.

Our youngster Debra is an avid groomer . . . she goes over herself thoroughly before retiring each night. When I try to brush her, she thinks I'm tempting her with a toy, so . . . I mostly let her take care of her own coat.
