KC's not fond of brushing. He doesn't get mats, but gets hairballs from self-grooming, so I like to give it a shot now and then. I've got a furminator for him, and he kind of likes it. FAR more than he's liked other brushing. And INFINITELY more than having his toenails trimmed!

The trick has been to sit on the floor, lure him in, and brush a few strokes on whatever part(s) I can get at until he decides he's had enough and runs away. Interestingly, sometimes he'll come back over and over for a few more brushstrokes through an evening.

The job's never really done, but considering how cat hair gets everywhere when I'm brushing him, I don't mind working at it a little at a time now and then.
