I don't brush my cat often because every time I brush her, she brings up a hairball a few hours later. (Last night it was 4 am next to me in bed .) I use a knockoff zoom groom, and I try to remove all the loosened hair afterwards with my hand or a comb. She has sensitive skin and hates slicker brushes (I've tried different brands, ones designed for rabbits, you name it, she is biting that thing immediately). I currently only brush her a couple times a month because of this. What can I do to prevent these hairballs?
(By the way, it took a long time to find a brush she would accept, and she likes the knock off zoom groom better than the Kong one. It's a slightly stiffer rubber/plastic than the ZG, I think the brand was Fortunate Pet or something generic sounding. In case anyone else has an attack the brush immediately cat.)
