Hello everyone, you all know that us kitties are expert groomers. We do spend a lot of time grooming ourselves up. Actually, in Simon and Seals case and Maxwell and Macy’s case too, they even spend a fair amount of time grooming up each other. A good groom sure makes for a good day.
Let’s face it though, sometimes we all need a little help. That’s the case with me, sometimes I do need that help. I have a super thick undercoat, I really do, and at a certain point it is just plain difficult for me to manage. That’s were the Dad comes in. Well, actually he was already in but he volunteers to help my furs when I need it the most. The Dad takes his time and combs through my furs getting out the heavy undercoat. I love it and I purr just as loud as a kitty can purr. This past Saturday he got so much undercoat furs out of me there was enough for a full kitten starter set. It sure feels better without all that fur, especially since it is getting warmer here again.
What about you, do you get some special grooming assistance from time to time? Catch you later! Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
Eric had a thick undercoat too and he loved the furminator.
Oh yes they need help grouming this days.
we bet is a super fur stylist and he can help you with getting the purrfect furs…
Brian I get regular grooming help too – my Mom brushes me and gets all loose hair off of me every morning. It’s our routine and I appreciate her help as I’m sure you appreciate the combing your Dad gives you. Plus it feels SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!
Hugs, Teddy
Brian, I have to have my brushing everyday at 5:00 p.m.. my furs are soft but not near as thick as what yours are, so Lynn gets a lot off of me but not enough to do any knitting with. She’d have to save every one of my fuzz balls for a year to make a piece of string, LOL. Precious
Some good fur tips Mr Brian 😺😸
We get our nails done weekly and our furs stripped out every week or two but every few months we have to go to the spa for professional help. Sounds like you love your grooming.
Next time Dad should take a picture of you enjoying the grooming for us 🙂 How about that?
Brian, I bet you did feel terrific after that! Angel Derry LOVED being brushed, and like you, he had a very dense undercoat. I always was amazed at how much the furminator got out!
It’s good that you all chip in and help each other and you get extra help with your thick coat you are LQQKING well broomed heheh! 🙂
Have a furrytastic Monday 👍
you look great all brushed and manly for today. Beau likes to be brushed also, I take him outside, he has a ton of furs, and if you gathered his, you could make two or three kittens. ha ha, or puppies…
My undercoat is fairly thick, so when mom zoom grooms me and then uses a human hair brush, when she done, I look like a Slinky toy. Loose and pliable. I go right to sleep. Right now I have a “killer” mat in my upper back leg area not too far from my tail. That will have to be buzzed out. the v-e-t.
Lovely photo. My 3 love a good groom. The girls shed more than the boy so they need more.
I wish that I could say that I liked being combed but nope…..I’m happy that you do, Brian.
Brian, it’s terrific that you enjoy your brushies!
Today, I take Sweetie to the vet, for her monthly Solensia shot…and to get her…um…undercarriage brushed.
Her underfur is very thick, but she will NOT allow me to help her out, so I must enlist the professionals.
We never realized that cats had undercoats like we do, but it certainly makes sense. You look very content in that picture, Brian.
Awww ~ what a sweet Dad you have and great grooming ~
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

A good grooming feels good.
Coffee is on and stay safe.
We remember that much more with our angel Himmies, Maggy and Zoey … oh my kitties, so much under-furs they both had and yes, help was always needed. Some times they apurrciated it, other times not so much… and little hissy fits ensued.
A little brushing and combing does help!
My sweet babies do a lot of grooming also. Although, for some reason, Misty was missing her backend a tad so that required mommy stepping in and giving her a bath. Yep, I have not bathed her since she was a couple weeks old so I was not sure how this would go but it went well. She flipped, flopped, squirmed, and wiggled but the claws never came out on me. I was surprised, cause unlike Lily, Misty can be a spitfire.
Brian I bet that was your man cat purrs I heard over the weekend
Hugs Cecilia
Sawyer has that same type of fur, but absolutely hates for mom to groom him, unlike the rest of us. When he is “out” after a seizure and cannot complain, she hits that undercoat with the furminator. Everyone have a good Monday. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, angel Mauricio, Misty May, angel Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Sawyer, Kizmet, Audrey & Raleigh
Dads are good with helping gets those furs out. You made me smile.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches all around and my best to your peeps. ♥
Us pups get the brushies, too, but its Benji who has TONS of undercoat and loose furs. Like you said, petcretary cold make another fur babby out of it all, LOL!
What a big helper your Dad is!!
Mama brushes us, but we also go to get our furs cut and floofed every 6 weeks or so(we heard a rumor that we are getting furcuts tomorrow)!
xoxo,
Rosy & Sunny
Lovely pic, Brian, and so nice of your dad to help you with grooming. My mum helps me too.
You do have a wonderful Dad, Brian!
Purrs,
The Chans
I’ll bet Daddy summons you by calling “Comb out, Comb out, wherever you are!” And Brian shows up lickety-spit. You’re lucky to have such an attentive and caring Daddy.
It’s nice of your Dad to help groom you.
Jack loves a good brushing, and Sophie is ok with it. Teddy wants no part if it!
Marley here: I have a thick undercoat too. So I LOVE my wire brush. I flop over and purr. The other day, TBT brushed so much off me, the pile looked like more fur than I even HAD as a kitten!
I am glad your dad helps you. I wish Tuffy would let me help him. XO
I get a full groom every month, except when the weather’s frightfully cold. XOX Xena
We just get baths, where we clog up the tub. We could really live without it. XOX Chia, Riley and Lucy
What a wonderful dad you have. Mudpie has a very thick undercoat too.
A good brushing is a thing to be treasured
Es un gatito lindo y guapo. Les deseo una buena semana. Les mando un beso.
Dansig gets groomed, he has a thick coat and can’t always reach everything, so we help. Yes, every week we have enough cat hair here to knit a litter of kittens, if we needed more of them.
“full kitten starter set” lmao!!! You have been on fire this week! You are also one fantastic Cat Daddy (but we already knew that!) I am certain Brian just loves when you brush his undercoat!
I don’t really need any help (super sleek short hair here), but I like it when momma brushes me anyways.
I wish our kitties appreciated grooming. Alas, it’s a necessary struggle. Best wishes!
