best way to brush shedding cats
cat owner wrote in news:5a6531b7-43a9-4ff3-
: is it better to hold a cat to brush them or brush them while laying down We have a remote vacuum so there is very little sound when it is on. Both our cats (especialy the one that was feral a dozen years or so ago) have grown to like being groomed with a brush attached to the vacuum hose. Just keep it away from their face. |

A remote vacuum is an interesting idea, thank you for mentioning that. I was amused that when we bought our present vacuum cleaner for the house, our cat knew what it was before we ever used it: the moment he saw it, he became very alert and gave it a good whack with his paw. -- Mark |

best way to brush shedding cats
Per cat owner:
is it better to hold a cat to brush them or brush them while laying down I would think it depends on the cat. With ours, an attempt to brush it while holding it would result in a trip to the ER for the brusher. However you do it, start very slow without pressing at all and then explore the cat's comfort level from there. -- Pete Cresswell |

best way to brush shedding cats
"cat owner" wrote in message ... is it better to hold a cat to brush them or brush them while laying down I use a Zoom Groom and I use it when my cat is standing (he doesn't like be be held). Then he lies down. It's a gentle thing with soft rubber fingers that gets the hair out really well, he likes it. If your cat doesn't mind being held while being brushed, it doesn't matter either way. |
