    These are my 1st maines, i have 2 normal shorthair cats that only require love cuddles feeding watering they look after there own fur lol
    but these boys are so fluffy and constantly play ruff n tumble that they tangle there fur thus me brushing them daily lol
    MC's seem to have different types of coats,my red & white boy I only normally show him the comb on the very odd occasion or just do his bib as he likes it ,Merlyn RIP in between showing I never had to touch him but the others it varied between very little & as required,what I did do though to keep the bonding going was always have a slicker brush close by to "fluff" them up a bit & stimulate the old skin & they luv that as they don't associate it with a good grooming but more of a relaxing stimulation {just shows how thick a MC can be sometimes bless them},plus it does help lift out some of the dead coat so I would say try doing as little as you have too but if it is like most of us at the moment it is still quite a lot & then yes afterwards just take a damp piece of paper & remove the hair that is still sitting on top,unlike cats such as a persian that are very high to maintain coat wise a MC can be unbelievably low key & if you are lucky it is only the knickers & sometimes belly fur that needs the most attention once they grow up a bit & don't ruffle that coat quite so much....xxx
