OK... Cloud and I have just enjoyed a quiet grooming session together - partly because she wanted attention, and this is one of her favourite ways of getting it!
It struck me while I was brushing her that we have quite a complicated routine of brushing (involving 3 brushes now!!!), and I was wondering how others went about the process of grooming...
For Cloud and I...
We start off with the Zoom Groom points end down, and have a bit of a massage session. This mostly brings loose fur up to the top of her coat, though some will stick to the brush.
Then we go onto two brush action, with the Furminator and an 'ordinary' brush in either hand. Furminator to do its usual work, and the ordinary brush to pick up as much of the loose fur as possible.
Cloud will quite happily sit there purring, and will move around to direct Mum to different areas as and when.
Of course, she's some areas she dislikes my brushing - tail for example, and parts of her legs (typical cat!) and some parts of her get missed until the next time... Not much tummy action today for example, but with brushes being reasonably frequent right now I don't worry overly much about some parts not being managed all the time!
So - that's Cloud... How do your cats enjoy (or otherwise!!!) being brushed?
