Hi everyone,
As promised please find below the latest entry from the Cats at the Bar archive.
Bad hair day! Tragically, I should have paid closer attention to Ink’s expression, before reaching for the brush!
What are your experiences with brushing your cats? Does it usually go down well? Any hints and tips for us all?!?
More from the CATB files to come soon!

My cats love being brushed. As always, with three of them, there is the risk of suddenly passing the line of ‘too much’. The reactions can be dire.
Mi Sun loves it, Dolly runs away, the rest are indifferent. Fortunately Mi Sun is the one who really needs it.
Both of our own are luckily short hair. Oliver hates it while Nubia loves it.
In the mood for a brushing. NOT!
XD
My cat starts out biting me and then gets into and purrs.
Interesting. For us it’s Nubia starts to purr madly and Oliver just about tolerates it LOL
I have heard mixed reviews about brushing cats. One of my friends has a mancoon and her feelings about being brushed change from time to time.
Yep it varies from cat to cat.
Sunny loves being brushed, preferably outside in the sunshine, hence her name. If I try to add anything to her grooming routine however—put a dab of flea medication on the back of her neck, trim a stray hair from inside her ear, pick a burr off of her tummy—she instantly grabs my hand with her claws and gives me this glare that could wither all of spring. Apparently she only goes for the basic brushing, and everything else, no thanks!
Ha! Sounds more severe than mr Oliver =o. Nubia on the other hand is super easy going. 🙂
Oh btw. Would you like to do a guest story on Sunny? 😀
Gracie loves being brushed. Zoe likes it, but she’s active and always wanting to go off to her next adventure. 🙂
An adventure cat! They always need brushing. ?
Btw. Do you wanna do a guest post or two for your two? 😀
thats a fur collar just like Misty Rainbow S!!

Would you like to do a guest story for Misty Rainbow S?
Ink was having more than a bad hair day for sure!
Oh what happened!
My Sully loves to be brushed! I brought a scrub brush to clean the tub once and she got to it and was brushing herself with it!!! When it was still in the bag!!! So we put it on her cat tree so she could brush herself.. so much for cleaning the tub that day or weekend! She even let’s be brush her backwards… and may I say I suggest if your cat will let you to do this to them, It gets more hair for less hair balls
Funny! That’s like Nubia who decided our new shower cleaning brush was the perfect massage brush LOL

Hi everyone,
Here is the latest blast from the past! 🙂

Don’t usually brush out cats, but I did give one a bath for the very firs time. For both of us! He was icky and wants to be in the house. Went better than I thought it would. I didn’t have any battle scars, and he seemed to feel better about being clean. 😀
XD. Some cats are ok with baths. The trick is that it needs to be nice and warm for them.
