Thread: How are you coping at the moment with shedding?

My Merlin also despises the brush, but there are ways to improve the experience for them. I give everyone a treat before and after grooming, and this tactic really helps with some cats. My ginger tabby used to be terrified of the brush, but I was simply persistent with him and eventually he realized he got yummy things every time and he also felt better.
Merlin gets terrible matting on his ruff and his tummy, and I have to use a wide-tooth metal comb to sort out the mess--not fun!!
