Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2006Brrrrush!
I love it. Once a week (or so; I've been lax lately) I say, "Wanna get brushed?" and Persia charges for the couch. When Persia first acquired me in 2001, when I picked up a litter box at Walgreen's I also grabbed a thing labelled a 'cat brush'. What did I know about cats? Lucky for me, she *loves* being brushed. So I say "Wanna get brushed?" and she charges for the couch and I take this brush out of the drawer in the side table and sit cross-legged. She situates herself in the middle of my legs and I start brushing. Elevator butt! (She has dandruff along the base by her tail so these 'scritches' must feel really good.) I even get to brush her subtley black striped tail. I brush her all along the flanks on one side, then she 'flips' and lets me get the other side. How cute is that? But she can't figure out how to do this and nuzzle at the brush with her face at the same time. It's a battle between her back and her front! Persia: Oh no! I want her to brush me back there but I also want to rub up against the brush up here! Oh no! Oh, wait, she took my collar off... she's brushing my neck. Oooh, that feels nice. [Meanwhile, she's sniffing at her collar, "Hey, who stole my necklace?"] Oooh, now she's brushing the top of my head. I can tilt my head back and get brushed between my ears! Oooh, now she's brushing my throat! I want to roll around on this brush, I do I do I do I do! Jill: Relinqushes the brush and let's Persia roll around on it on the floor. Persia rubs her face on it and then goes off to do other cat stuff. I then get out a comb and clean the cat fur out of the brush and put in the drawer for next time. Jill <--who temporarily let Persia take mind control to discribe a brushing session and no, Persia did not drool [yes she did! No, I didn't! yes! no!] >I love it.

Sometimes the more they like the brushing, the harder they make it for you. HERE! NO, HERE! ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com Make Levees, Not War Polly loves being brushed but she insists on reciprocating so while I brush her with my right hand my left hand gets a thorough wash.........the strange thing is the firmer my brush strokes get the harder she licks me and her tongue is very rough, more like a little pink pan scourers than a tongue.

Yes, a cat's tongue is more like a scouring pad and will quickly take the skin off your hand. I guess this is why they are so clean :) > Jill: Relinqushes the brush and let's Persia roll around on it on the > floor.

I don't at present have any cats who allow themselves to be brushed, but I have a very handy brush with with plastic bristles and a sort of moveable "shield" at the base of the bristles. When you flip a lever, the shield moves up to the tip of the bristles, carrying all the loosened hair with it, making it VERY easy to remove!

Jill, May I formally request that Persia come and teach Heidi how and when to do that? Heidi is very long haired and gets brushed most every morning. She absolutely loves it, and will bug me for half an hour before it's time. But she gets far less brushing on her right flank because she insists that the only proper position in which to accept such service is lying on one's right side. I can sometimes get a few swipes at her right flank after the main brushing session is over, when she goes to check if she left anything in her bowl.

But she's pretty good with the body parts, Chin, Chops, Tail, etc. > (She has dandruff along the base by her tail so these 'scritches' > must feel really good.)

So you can put one brush in each hand so she can get both at the same time!! :) Joyce Tyche loves a brush and Pokey's okay with it. Kumani enjoys it but also wants to eat the brush while it is brushing her. Nocturne will soundly bite anyone who attempts to brush her, though I try to run it over her a few times when I'm doing the others. --Fil > I love it.
