Cat Grooming

[armb]

Now that Sophie (aka Fluffcat) is an old lady, she sometimes struggles to keep her fur unmatted by herself (she isn't Persian fluffy (or flatnosed), so managed until recently, give or take the occasional furball). Brushes and combs seem to divide into "ineffectual" and "to be violently objected to". I haven't yet had the problem james_nicoll alluded to in a post I can't find right now yet though.
