I have one that can't get enough of the brush (I can literally just hold the brush and she will do all the work 😂), and another that absolutely hates it - to the point that I only brush her a couple times a year because it is such a struggle. It's basically when her shedding gets out of control and it HAS to be done. And naturally the one that loves the brush (Korat, single hair coat) doesn't shed while the one that hates the brush (Russian Blue, plush fur double coat) sheds twice a year for 6 months at a time. I was also hoping to get something out of this to help her but it's nothing I've never tried before. I just end up having to hold on tight and endure the teeth and claws and growling/hissy fit she throws while I'm doing it 🤣

The "even if they hate it" part is following the advice in the video over a period of months. Start with regular petting when the pet is relaxed, switch to an appropriate brush or comb, don't hold them down if they want to leave or move around, stop when they get uncomfortable, and give them a treat when it's over. Do that every day over a period of months and they'll get used to being brushed, allowing you to escalate the brushing as you build trust with them.

My cat is a out 3 or 4 months old and did not like the comb from the start. If I comb her even one soft comb, she attacks it. I did figure out a trick. Just put the comb against her lightly and let her move against. When it's on her terms, she will get a bit of combing done. Maybe it will grow over time.

You should always reward your cat after uncomfortable experience like brushing or nail clipping! Give either their favorite treat or some catnip or other herb they like (don't give herbs during the process as they will go crazy). Your cat will look forward to the experience even though they won't like the process.

Thank you! I need this video about to adopt a ragdoll and have another long haired at home who hates the brush

Another great brush is the Zoom Groom rubber cat or dog brush. The later is a little bigger. It's not a rake yet works like one without causing the cat to be over sensitized. It's also great for shampooing. A combination of brushes are idea, but the Zoom Goom is my favorite.

Ragdolls are the best!! ❤❤❤ I have found my cats preffer boar bristle brushes. It pulls less, but mine are both short hairs. The dog loves the boat brush, too.

Great tips thank you ❤

Thank you for the video! Question, I purchased the furrminator for my ragdoll kitty because of this video and because he was shedding a lot, and I’ve used it once since buying it. It removed a lot of fur and so I thought it was a great success! However, today I am researching it more and seeing many people say that this brush should not be used on rag dolls at all because they don’t have an undercoat and it can damage their fur. Is this true? I just don’t want to do anything to hurt my kitty but this brush seemed to be really effective.

@TheCatButler

11 ай бұрын

Hey that is a great question! Yeah when I was researching brushes I came across some complaints as well that it did the job too well in removing fur and people were concerned about its damage to the undercoat. The concerns are valid. The Furminator is more of a heavy duty brush to get rid of tangle, mats, hairball buildup. Its very effective. I recommend not using it too much, while the slicker brush or comb you can use more. Only use when you need too. I should probably add a gentler deshedder brush in there. Unfortunately the one I use they discontinued for some reason. I may take a look at the deshedders on the market and test them out and see which would be the best choice now. Hope that helps!

@TheCatButler

Hey its a good question! I find that even tho a ragdoll doesn't have an undercoat. They shed quite a bit and a lot of their hair gets stuck underneath their coat. The other brushes don't do as a good job as the deshedders. In the video use an Andis Premium deshedder that for some reason has been sold out for a while. It just has hooks to collect the loose hair. It doesn't really cut the hair like the deshedder. And very light to the touch. The cats enjoy it. So the furminator I think some people over use it and remove too much hair. You only need a few light brushings and to maybe use it once or twice a week. My ragdolls don't really need the furminator so I stopped using it. Hope that helps!

hmmm it could be the brush, does it hate when you pet it normally.

My ElCucho HATES toys, My Sissy always looked at me like I was an idiot for not buying her an iPod or 📱 I still fell for wasting money on quite unnecessary items. 😹

My 1Y8M old Ragdoll cat immediately starts being aggressive tho and I have used 8 different brushes to see if it’s the brushes fault I have tried brushing my cat when she’s sleepy or even while sleeping and she still gets up and gets mad I’ve been giving her treats after each brushing session but she still never changed Any tips?

@@TheCatButler well she enjoys a little ear, nose and chin scratches but if I do it for a minute she’ll walk away or give a gentle bite, when I pick her up for 30 seconds she starts hissing and when I even put a brush on her fur she’ll start moving and hiss so I hold her down gently to brush her, I know it’s necessary to brush her that’s why I still do it even tho she hates it! I reward her with her favorite treats and there’s still hasn’t been any improvement I tried a lot of things

I have a question for you? Isn't it necessary to butt trim long-hair cats to prevent poop from attaching itself to their fur? BTW, I think Cleo is a Siberian forest cat!

Its a good question! I do butt trim Teemo and Arya. Otherwise you are right, the poop does attach itself to their fur! Oh that is awesome! Did you go get a DNA test to find out? Siberian Forest Cats are known to be playful and friendly!

@@TheNutbrittle ah okay! Basepaws can help if you decide to use it: bit.ly/3IiJTYN. I don't have a video on butt trimming my cats, but I use an electric razor to trim the hair around their butt. I find it the easiest way because the cat tends to move a lot. Hope that helps!

hmmm have you tried different brush types? sometimes cats are picky which brushes they use. If the knots are serious, you may need a bath to untangle the knots. These two videos could help: 1.

what if the slicker brush is not curved?

Most slicker brush should be curved, the angled or curved head helps reach into the cat’s undercoat. Hope that helps!

How do I brush my cats hair if she immediately gets aggrivated the second I brush her? The only time I can brush her is when she eats and only then I can get her back and sides for like 30 seconds.

Yeah if your cat is not happy every time you use the brush and isn’t like that when you pet it. It is most likely that your cat hates the brush. So I recommend you change it to a softer brush if you can. My cats Teemo and Arya dislike certain brushes and I had to try several out before they liked it
