Jewel was such a beautiful kitty. She was the only kitty in the house that liked being brushed. Sometimes when she was just hanging out in her bed, I'd pick up her brush and start grooming her. She really loved that! I miss brushing her. Carmine and Milita really don't like being brushed. In fact, if I try to brush Carmine, he tries to chomp the brush! It's a good thing that Carmine and Milita have short fur.
One thing that can happen as a cat's kidneys fail is that his or her fur begins to feel greasy. This happened with Jewel, and I wanted to help her feel better. So approximately every week, I would give Jewel a little kitty "bath" with a cat wipe made for grooming. Jewel did protest a little to this, but I hope it made her feel better.
Does your kitty enjoy being groomed?
Lucy has short fur so she doesn't mind being brushed but Hannah's fur is thick, long and curly so she is not keen on being brushed if there's a knot so Mum snips them out with a tiny pair of scissors.

Truffles is happy doing all her grooming herself. Every, Waking, Moment,
ReplyDeleteI’m the first of TW’s cats to like getting FURminating. Of course they didn’t have a FURminator with the others. The others used to bite the brush. They thought I’d go “postal” on them when they got the FURminator but it felt good.
ReplyDeleteWe do not allow grooming except Rumpy Bump. The little one, Einstein, gets quite hissy and bites the brush. MOL
ReplyDeleteJewel was on lucky loved kitty
Pipo is a brush biter, he gets excited and bites to help it along, cause he is purring while he bites it...
ReplyDeleteMinko enjoys the brushing. He is a big shedder , so brushing frequently is needed.
Baths and such types of grooming?? Not allowed by either, MOL!
I get baths every couple of weeks - and while I don't much care for the bath part, I do enjoy the blow dry! I get combed and not really brushed much, and hey, it works for me!
ReplyDeleteWe agree, Jewel was such a beauty. Most of us here really love the brushy thing!
ReplyDeleteI have three that do like being brushed and one who doesn't. Abby did and I miss that. I miss everything we did, that goes unsaid. :(
ReplyDeleteBut Annabelle has cotton candy like fur and the brush doesn't work on her at all plus she is not that thrilled with it.
we loves R brushins guys....R brush izza kong zoom groom & we give it 984 paws up !!!
ReplyDeletePeaches like my pink "human brush" from CVS. She likes to rub her face against it and It seems to give her a thrill. Paprika on the other hand wants nothing to do with anything that has a handle...at least for now.
ReplyDeleteJewel was such a sweetie. Zoey likes to be brushed...but not for too long. Then she tries to eat the brush.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cat. She will always be with you.
ReplyDeleteAthena only enjoys being groomed if I offer her treats.
Purrs xx

I like being groomed but not for too long. Eric adored it. Mum used to put one zoom groom face up on the cat tree and groom Eric with the other one. He would really push his face into it and loved having a double grooming. When mum got the furminator he was ecstatic!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy Jewel's Journeys. Such sweet posts. Delilah loves to be brushed as well, and Caster likes it too (if he's not in one of his wild moods). Sampson hates it… when I pull out the brush, he runs away! MOL! Sophie and Sassy could take it or leave it. We are sure that Jewel enjoyed getting her kitty baths :) Thanks for sharing about Jewel.
ReplyDeleteJewel was a beauty. I love those big owl eyes.
ReplyDeleteWe love that photo of sweet Jewel. We love it when Mumsy brushes us with the FURminator. It feels good. We'll even have some of a shoving match to get another turn!
