Hi Tricia,



Thanks for the advice. I am actually doing that: first I pet them, then I put the brush on the floor and let them play with it, so that they do not consider it something scary. My younger boy is much more difficult to groom, the older one will let me brush him and he even enjoys it. The younger one is more difficult in everything: nail clipping, brushing, towel-cleaning .



Pet smart also sell waterless shampoos - a foam which you can clean your cat and then towel-dry. I tried it once but it was not very popular with them.



One more question - when my younger one start to resist and wants to set free and escape shall I let him go or keep him a bit tighter and let him learn to accept the grooming?
