There will soon be another one for the other living room. They love playing around, inside & on top of it, too.

The cheapest cat toys aren’t cat toys. And apparently, hard cardboard is far more comfy than the floffy cafe I got for them at the shelter :upside_down_face:

Perhaps an old towel in the box for some additional comfort??

Eh. He seems perfectly fine in there. Our first cat, The Dude used to love sleeping on uneven stacks of paper, journals, or books.

Cats be weird :slight_smile:

If I had a nickel for all the unused, scorned cat condos I’ve purchased over the years …

Another fan of Wegmans. I knew he was a smart kitty and I liked him despite never having met him. :grin:

The breeder sent us the last set of pictures of our baby before he comes home to us on Tuesday :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: We can’t wait :blush:

My cat Darcy will jump up on my sink when I brush my hair with Denman brush … her way of asking to be brushed. OK.

My daughter gave me a similar kind of brush for pets (her cats were afraid if it!) and mine really loves it.

I can’t find a brand name on it!

Rocky used to love being brushed. He even came over to his brushing mat in his final days, despite having gotten so weak he barely moved from his safe spot at the time :cry:

The new boys not so much. We’ll have to find a love glove or some such, bc the brush we have freaks them out.

This is the grooming glove we use.

Yup, we used to have one of those as well with our first cat. Rocky needed something more efficient, like this:

But Jonesy is so squirrely and lanky I don’t think it feels good to him. We’re gonna pick up one of those you posted today, hopefully! They shed like mofos.

Furminator - all my cats loved it. I’ve never done Ziggy. I’ll have to find out.

Even Jake, who has … filled in a bit since we adopted him :smiling_face: isn’t a fan. It’s a shame bc it’s so much more efficient than a lurv glurv.

Mine in a short hair Tonkinese, you’d be surprised how much fur comes off with this brush! Couldda used it when I was raising a few litters of Himalayans.

My late Buster and Alfie LOVED being furminated! Alfie would let me do it for 15-20 minutes, pulling out all of the underfur. Finnegan loves it as well; Murphy? Not so much. But I can swipe at him with an old metal rod hairbrush and he’ll tolerate it for a little while.

I had one of those gloves. I could never master the technique.
