I had to ask him if he wanted some loving. If he laid down I knew it was safe, if not he would flick his tail and walk away. He was not mean just grumpy. I miss that silly cat even tho he was a grump.

    Agreed. Some cats behave better with strangers than they do with their normal human servants. One of my cats strenuously objected when I tried trimming murder daggers and dealing with matting. When she was at the vet's office she was the perfect angel with a blinding halo and the vet and techs didn't believe she was really a Tasmanian devil in a cat suit.

    Even at 18 or 19 my old lady kitty would be STRONG if she didn't like what was happening. The vet didn't believe us when we said that burritoing her didn't work to give her medication.
    We brought a towel and her to the vet and said "okay, show us what we're doing wrong." They tried. She got her front legs out and FOUGHT.
    Afterwards we were like "we told you." The vet, while breathing heavily: "..just bring her in for shots every few months."
    Us: thank you that's what we wanted.

      My Trisha passed a month shy of her 20th birthday. but in her teens she had my roommates' huskies terrified of her. She was a whopping 7 lbs of Queenly wrath for people being silly in her presence. We also had an incident when I accidentally scheduled her with the vet she didn't like when it as time to do her 6 month lab work. the vet took her off to the lab down the hall. She put up such a ruckus I'm sure she cleared the waiting room. When they brought her back, a tech had her burritoed in a towel, ears flat and growling. The vet was like "She wouldn't let us draw blood."

    He's like my 16 year old black cat, who fortunately doesn't have arthritis. He doesn't like having his claws clipped, and growls and hisses when we do it, but doesn't fight back. We figure he's just expressing his opinion with bad language, and he's entitled to.

    He reminds me of my old calico "Rosa". She lived to be almost 25. In her last years her coat looked so much like this baby. I made the mistake of shaving and bathing her without protecting my lungs from her dander. I ended up collapsing on the floor from a SEVERE reaction to her dander and my kids had to call 911 to have medics arrive. I was placed in intubation in ICU for 4 days and luckily survived. Please be careful and protect your lungs! I had bathed and brushed her many times in the past, but because her dander was so intense on that groom, it hit me really hard.

    This is why you brush them from the time they are young and make it a bonding experience. My 3 get brushed/combed every night in varying degrees (based on their love of it or mood) and have since they were kittens. When I’m away it’s amazing how much hair accumulates just in a week of not brushing. I wish I’d gotten one of mine used to bathing. Luckily she absolutely loves being brushed.

    Ninja looks like my Midnight who passed away in 06. The difference is my kitty knew how to turn on the bathroom sink facet and got herself some fresh water and would stand under the stream and give herself a bath. Nope, I kid you not. She would actually do this. Unfortunately, she never learned to turn off the water.

    Thanks for the excellent reminder to keep up with my longhaired cats baths - I hope they live to long, old lives and so I wouldn't want them to not be used to it. They of course get regular brushes and nail clips which they are far more used to and neither of my girls find brushing upsetting. One of my girls hates her paws being touched but allows claw clipping with the happy hoodie

    The single best comb I've found for cats who do not like brushing is the Japanese-created Philocomb. I saw someone who used it on feral cats at shelters and got it for my brush-resistant cat early on and now she demands brushing multiple times a day. The curved teeth are made of resin and apparently just feel fantastic to cats. Not a de-matting comb, but after a cat is de-matted, it is great at maintaining their coat.

    OMG.
    My Ninja only made it to 14, he was a spherical void for most of his life. He would have just purred and hid his head instead of deploying the spice though! I lost my boy to a stroke after years of fighting diabetes, I miss him so much!
    What a lovely spicy boy!

    Good information about getting young cats accustomed to grooming AND bathing, so that when they're seniors it's not so traumatic for them. Thanks!
