I am having a hard time trying to comb or brush Boris's coat. He has that double coat that is very plush and a brush just doesn't work very well. I have been using a comb and that works well if I can keep him from grabbing it and chewing on it. Usually I am only allotted about 2 minutes to comb him and I generally have to do it while he is distracted with something else. This is the first time that he has started to loose a little bit of hair. Any suggestions?

>>Boris's Human
LOL! Boris sounds like a pawful. 
My little guy, Harley, does the same thing when I groom him, so I got him his own little comb that he holds and plays with while I use another one to comb him. Maybe his own comb would keep Boris occupied long enough for you to comb him out too.
Purrs,

Try a HUMAN comb (brush? don't know...I'll post a pic later tonight) I actually use one that was mine and seems to work best for preventing mats on Bob than the 'slicker' brush.
