Hairball Awareness Day - Loving Our Brushing

Actions speak louder than words, and as you can see we cats make the most of this "holiday."  Hairball Awareness Day" which comes on the last Friday of every month is of particular importance to us (cuz our human HAS to brush us then) but truthfully we celebrate it all year long.


We kitties especially shed our hairs in

Spring and this day is dedicated to all humans knowing that and brushing us! If we try to accomplish the important task of licking our rapidly growing furs  all by ourselves we'll get the dreaded hairballs.

As you can see I'm in love with this pink brush - Peaches

Hairballs can be seriously injurious to our health.  There are many ways to prevent them: frequent brushings, special foods and many other means.  The nape of our necks and near our  tail are particular areas of need of brushings!

There are also special gels one can purchase at pet stores and special food for preventing hairballs.  


Our human uses the Fur-minator brush on me cuz I my furs grow really fast.  I love all brushes though. I'm particularly in love with my human's pink brush which I stole from her for our own use. Paprika feels the same.  So my human uses both Furminator AND our special "pink" brush.

Paprika's furs are much shorter than mine but she doesn't know that.  When she sees me being brushed, she comes and sits by our human's feet, pathetic and forlorn until SHE gets a brushing. 

My great accomplishment-using the pink brush by myself@ - Paprika

The pink brush is one of our great addictions. In fact if we see it lying around, we will brush ourselves with it.  We know how! 

Here is Paprika in this picture, savoring that brush!Please everyone.  Give your kitties lots of brushings this spring whether they like it or not!
