Hairball Awareness Day -- and we love it!


Peaches the cat here! This is SUCH an important day!  We kitties shed & shed in Spring and this day is dedicated to all humans knowing that and brushing us! And paw-leez, humans!  Know that if we try to accomplish the important task of licking it all ourselves we'll get the dreaded hairballs.  

Hairballs can be seriously injurious to our health.  There are many ways to prevent them: frequent brushings, special foods and many other means.  The nape of our necks and near our  tail are particular areas of need of brushings!



Our human purr-tonally uses the Fur-minator brush, available at pet shops and online cuz there's nothing like it.  AND we have taken over a pink brush previously belonging to her cuz we felt it should be Our brush. As you can see I'm in heaven when brushed with it!

Please, everyone.  Brush your fur babies a lot this month, whether they like it or not.

Now I, for one LOVE it and would like a brushing at least every day.  In fact I meow and ask for it! 



Hello, Paprika here.  As you can see we BOTH love the brushings!  And though I have shorter hair than conceited Peaches, I am addicted to that pink brush, and, when possible, take matters into my own paws.  I could spend all day with brushes if she let me.

  3. My Buddy loves to be brushed too. We used to have a brush that attached to a corner of a cabinet, but Buddy didn't care for it. He wants to BE brushed, not brush himself.

  10. Our Harvey NEEDS a proper comb (remind me to show you the ball of fur that Dr. Viv the vet got off him last year) but he loves a slicker brush most of all as his fur is too fine for the Furminator. Some of the cats nothing ever brushes off (ever!) some of the others we could stuff a cushion with!!
