Brushing a Cat Who Hates Being Brushed

Brushing a Cat Who Hates Being Brushed

Placeholder editorial copy — replace with your own finished article before publishing.

Most brushing battles are really pacing problems. Thirty focused seconds every day beats a twenty-minute wrestling match every fortnight.

  • Brush when your cat is already relaxed, not when the mats appear
  • Start where your cat likes being touched and stop before they ask you to
  • Match the tool to the coat rather than to the price tag
  • Mats close to the skin are a job for a groomer or veterinarian
