HOW TO BRUSH YOUR CAT'S FUR
Five Rules of Proper Brushing:
Try to brush your cat when he is relaxed - perhaps ready to fall asleep. Begin by gently stroking your cat. Once you notice that he seems relaxed, start brushing with long, slow, gentle strokes.
The best way to remove dead hair is to first brush against the direction of the hair growth, and then go with the direction of growth.
Clean the excess hair from the brush often to avoid creating more knots or clumps.
After brushing, wipe your cat's fur with a soft chamois. This cloth will remove dead hair and add sheen to the coat. (If you have a close-coated cat, like a Burmese or Siamese, then this is all that you will need to do.)
If you have a multiple-cat household, be sure to clean the combs and brushes after use on each animal.
I haven't brushed a cat in many moons! Ours are lucky to be the best fed cats on the planet. Mine still bites the hand that not only feeds it but rescued it from certain death. My last favorite got all that special treatment to include baths.... I've given enough to these cats..I'll trade all of them for a good dog any day. Thanks Pam!! Got any dog tips?
LOL.. I guess as long as they don't mark their territory on your leg you'll be okay..
