Cat\’s Eye View

Ma says she likes it when my fur is soft and snuggly and i like it when she pets me a lot.

So, we have an understanding.

At least once a day, and more during heavy shedding season, I agree to let her brush me. Now, you have to understand brushing is good for a kitty. It gets rid of the loose fur that might otherwise be furballs and it helps prevent me from shedding all over the house.

But it can be kind of uncomfortable. At first, the scratchy slicker brush feels pretty good, but then it gets kind of irritating. Imagine having some scratch the same spot over and over again. Yeah, just like that.

So we have an understanding. When I’m ready for the brush, I go and get Ma and yip at her a few times. If she’s not busy and sometiems even if she is, she says “Hit the table” and I jump up for my brushing. While I’m enjoying it, I’ll wallow around or walk back and forth pushing my fae against the brush. But when the tail starts to swing, it’s almost time to stop. Ma has learned to be more gentle then.

Finally, when it’s time to stop, I reach out and grab the brush with my front paw and pull it into my mouth. Then, I chew. Ma sas the hairbrush doesn’t go in the mouth.  Silly Ma. Everything goes in the mouth.
