Cats reduced to happy, relaxed puddles of mush by these amazing gloves
Oh, my goodness! These gloves are amazing. Having recently adopted an 18 year-old cat, we are now a four cat household and our apartment was getting oh, so hairy. So far, three of our four cats have fallen in love with being groomed with these gloves. Sometimes, they express a little hesitation initially but start purring very quickly and then move into the caress, showing that they enjoy the experience. Our most affectionate cat, Jasper, even turns this way and that as if to ask that I stroke him all over.
Our cats are small to medium in size (the largest is about 9.5 pounds and our little old lady cat is about 5.5 pounds). With the larger boys, I stroke them using a combination of the palm of my hand and the finger tips. With our frail little old lady, I most just use one or two fingers at a time with very gentle pressure.
Once I've picked up a lot of hair with the gloves, it's easy to rub the hair off and start again.
I am hoping to use these grooming gloves to help our jealous little girl get more comfortable with our new little old lady. I thought that by transferring scents back and forth, they would get more comfortable with each other. So far, though, our jealous little girl is not enjoying the experience, so I think I will have to take it really slowly with her. But I've only had the gloves for a couple of days, so I am not giving up yet.
I've attached a photo of our little old lady cat (because who wants to use a pair of hairy rubber gloves?)
