mscat,
Mocha is the same.. My mom used to use a slicker, and I think it was painful as hell. When I use the metal tooth comb, she's doing much better. The most difficult part is the legs. I will put it in my hand, she will pull it away
It was a nightmare at 1st, as my Lulu is such a sweetheart, but I think they do get better.
pssssssssssssst: Many times I groom her when she's sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepyyyyyyyyy
Helps with the scratches she gives me LOL!
