. They are truly...

Getting your cat used to being frequently handled all over her body will accustom her to being touched by strangers, such as her veterinarian, pet sitter, or just your friends. It is especially useful to make her easier to handle even for yourself for when you have to give her medication. |
Grooming and brushing are especially important when your cat is ill. They either forget or don’t feel like grooming themselves….seems like they shed more and there fur gets natty and dull. It really helps them feel better.
You are so right. Also true when a kitty is overweight and can’t reach back there (but getting off of Kitty Crack and onto wet food only should eventually cure the obesity problem). And our senior citizen cats often get arthritis and can’t reach around to groom themselves as well- so your reminder is good for many of our felines. Thanks Mary!
