Slash isn't the easiest cat to brush.

But I have to give it my best shot because
I don't want to keep sedating him for professional grooming.

I wish he understood that and would make it easy for me.
But his line of thinking goes something like,
"Why make it easy when you can make it hard for Mom?"

His protests usually begin with lots of grumbling.

They will then progress into a more violent form of struggling.

That is why I have to hug him in a very strategic pose.
Need to avoid getting clawed at and chewed on, you know.

When Slash finally tires himself out from all the fighting,
he will close his eyes and stay frozen in a rigid position.

But not without pulling some extraordinary faces
to show his continued disapproval of getting 'tortured' by the brush.
