Hey guys,
I need some advice. My cat tumbleweed has really long fur, and I need to groom him quite often. The problems:
1. He hates being groomed! He'll kick me with his back feet and bite me. It turns into a two-person job.
2. Even then, I just can't get enough fur off! I do have a FURminator, but it doesn't seem to have long enough teeth. (I have the "small cat" longhair one)
3. Because I can't get enough fur off, he throws up very hairy barfs, and quite often.
My questions:
1. How can I get him to calm down?
2. Should I get a brush with longer teeth and then use that to get the majority of fur off, and then use the FURminator?
3. How can I get him to stop barfing up his fur? Should I get hairball control formula cat food??
Thank you, ~Saphira
