Brushing your cat is so important! It helps remove loose, dead hair that otherwise would have two fates – floating around your house or eventually as the form of a hairball on your carpet. You know you’ll step on that hairball in the middle of the night, so why not do your half asleep self a favor and work to prevent it?
In addition to preventing your own discomfort, it really helps your cat! It stimulates blood circulation, removes any dirt, and helps you spot any of those pesky fleas.
Brushing is also a great way to bond with your cat. Most cats really enjoy brushing and it gives you some intimate one-on-one time. Throw in some treats for good measure!
2-3 times per week is great for short hair, daily for long hair! If you have a long hair cat that mats frequently, you might need some other tools in your arsenal!
Here are links for the two brushes used in this video!

Blue Brush:
Dont forget: Furminator is for once a week. not daily!
Thanks – good info.
One of my kitties loves any kind of brush, can’t get enough, drives me nuts pestering me to brush him. One won’t allow any brushing at all, disappears when I come at her with a brush. One likes it but only around his neck. The fourth kitty only like rubbies and petties and no brush. Every day I do this hoping the less loving it ones will start to enjoy, but after years of trying, nothing has changed. So, if your kitty like brushing, go for it. If he/she doesn’t, don’t give up.
I use the furminator brush, a little more, than the normal brush, when it’s shedding season, especially on the tail (I have ragdolls)
I think keeping my cat in place when brushing is the hardest
