Thread: Grooming?

Like others, I've found patience is key (and availability of comb/scissors). We've tried the Furminator too -- Dakota HATES it. Last year I found a handy item on Amazon. The Safari Cat Shedding Comb. Not sure what it's "Magic" is, but Dakota lets us get the smaller mats with it and it doesn't appear to pull as much on his skin. Perhaps it's the comb tooth design? Safari has other cat grooming items as well, but I've never used them. We try to run the comb through him once a day (particularly his ruff, britches, and "armpits"). He tolerates it, as he knows he gets his fresh food afterwards (he doesn't like treats). Sometimes he even purrs.

I've added a pic, so you can see what the comb looks like. It's going to take time and a lot of patience with them. Good Luck!
