Hmmmm thats was a quick change of subject
Yes have tried brushes and he doent like those either and they literally only skim the top of his fur cos its so thick. Have tried working on the ummmmmmmmmm tangles with fingers but he knows exactly what I am doing and will spin round on me and grab!
Cos of the thickness and length of his furr he does really get a tangle just a bloomin mat! I can do thev finger thing with the birmans if I dont have a comb to hand cos their fur is like cotton wool and they like being groomed but Misas fur is more course where its black and soft where its white and its the black part that gets the problem.
He is a gorgeous monster but knows where every mat is grrrrrrrrrrrr.
If I am lucky first he will warn me with no claws but if I dont listen he will get claws and teeth out!
