Spring is here and Merlin is moulting!Yes he is! I was wondering (apart from special grooming for showing and long haired cats that need daily seeing to) whether those of you with short haired cats groom or not? I usually do when Merlin is moulting as it spares him from scaring the life out of me by chucking a furball and my thinking he's having a vomiting fit! I usually just use a soft brush - he's not too keen on the comb. What do you do?

I groom all my cats, my exotics, Leo & Merlin have short coats but very dense and fluffy they can moult for Britian, I use a furminator on them... |

I comb Cassie every day, use to brush her but found the comb much better for getting the loose hair out. I have a furminator too but don't use it through the winter as being a short haired outside cat, I think she needs her full winter coat... |

I have always combed mine daily; they are/were indoor only cats, but I do it not so much for the grooming part as much as a bonding thing...they love/loved it, and it was a part of the nightly routine. And of course getting rid of the loose fur was an additional bonus. Leia, being indoors, doesn't grow much of a Winter coat .. Do look into the Furminator grooming tool...cannot recommend it too highly! One of the members got one; that started us off and a large number of us have them now...you cannot believe the amount of loose fur you get the first time you use it! |

None of my cats, especially Denis has liked being brushed until I got a Furminator.....He rolls around and goes all soft as soon as I show him it, it's very strange and I get a lot of fur off him. |

Angie, here's a link to a very long (10 page) thread about the Furminator last year when we were discussing it...very funny going back and looking at it now! When the Forum is sLow sometimes this might amuse you... http://www.catsey.com/showthread.php?t=22846 |

Cleo is a short hair but she just loves being combed-now here is a question-she is black and white-but it`s mostly only black fur that comes out |
