Thanks, Dee. I have a Furminator, and call me crazy (I double-dog dare ya
) but I swear it made the hairballs worse.
Probably because it did loosen up the fur, maybe a little too much?
And clueless as I was when I brought him and his sister home, I didn't get them used to grooming, so he's not a big fan of being brushed/combed. He tolerates it (and I use that term loosely) for maybe 60 seconds on a really good day. Usually it's more like 30 seconds.
