I Love My Cat, My Furry Baby [Cats]

My family cat has his own running water. He lies around all day and does whatever the Hell he wants almost his entire life. But when I pick him up for three minutes to brush his fur, he acts like I'm skinning him alive. 🙄

Perhaps you're not approaching the brushing thing quite right. Then again, maybe he just really doesn't like being brushed.

@Piper My brother says he kinda tolerates it if you do it while he's eating, but I don't bother with that. His claws aren't that scary with long sleeves on.

@BlueVeins Cats are certainly individuals, and not all of them really enjoy being brushed...for sure. My remaining cat quite likes it when I do, but I doubt she would if I just picked her up and started doing it.

@Piper Yeah, our other cat really likes it if you're chill 'bout it.

@BlueVeins My dogs acts like I'm going to kill her, if I try to trim one nail. She was like that even when her favorite person ever, my dad, tried to. Elsa the cat is far more tolerant of that.
