Title: A good comb / brush for a scruffy cat?
Post by: becky555 on June 01, 2009, 14:33:51 PM: Hi everyone, I am a newbie ;)

I have a longhaired cat that I brush everyday with a metal comb with a handle on (like a flea comb) I brush her everyday and remove a handful of fur, but she still looks scruffy. Can anyone recommend a good comb / brush to make her look lovely and fluffy? Thanks!
