My shorthair cats, abys and burmese, have always liked a very soft brush. I use a "kitty curry brush" which is a rubber brush with lots of soft nubs on it. A damp... not wet... wash cloth works if they get in to something sticky. I have always found that the earlier you start with the grooming routine, the better. A minute or two at a time to start and gradually they will adjust and allow for a longer session. Zoom Groom is another brand of fairly soft rubber brush that is popular. The one I used on kittens was a very soft bristled baby brush. If you suspect fleas, then a flea comb is excellent and will also help pull out loose undercoat. The large combs and brushes with the rubber tipped pins are better for longhaired cats.
