Title: Lots of furrballs this morning but I brushed them all last night!
Post by: MrsR on August 05, 2008, 07:52:34 AM
Woke to a lot of furrballs this morning but last night I brushed them all as I did a few days ago - has anyone found that happen before when freshly groomed?  :scared:

No personal experience of it but maybe there is more loose fur?

Clapton has been moulting more the last few days. Maybe it is a reaction to the couple of warm days we had last week?

I brush star nearly every day and still had one on the carpet yesterday morning - like Mark said it could be the weather (she is long haired though)

I find that when I brush Mogs she takes offense and has to give herself a good clean after and I always get a furball or two in the middle of the night

I have the opposite problem - they never bring up furballs!! My Balinese brought up lots but was always grooming himself - these two have longer coats and I have had them five months and not one furball!!

I found with Bertie that he went through phases of having none for a month or so then there would be a load all at once!

Furballs all the time and doesnt matter if they have been groomed or not. 

They build up over time so prob gave themselves a groom to put their fur back in the right place after you messed it up and that was the end of an already forming furball  :rofl: :rofl:

Nice  :sick:

Mosi is having furball problems right now as well.  I think it's the weather.  After you've groomed them they probably have a lot of loose hair on the surface that they can easily lick off.

Have you tried the FURminator?

It's very very good.
