Willy is a huge shedder, and I try to brush him every day. It makes a major difference in terms of hairballs and hair on the floor that I have to clean.
But he isn't entirely tolerant of it. He lets me do it for several strokes along his back, and then either turns around and starts biting at the brush, or leaps off my lap (and he is a natural lap cat so my lap is where he wants to be normally).
I've tried doing shorter brushing strokes, then stopping and waiting, then resuming, etc. But he only really tolerates it to a point and then leaps off my lap.
I just keep doing it periodically throughout the day, but it annoys both him and me, as it's a daily process that is really obnoxious to do.
