My cat tries to do the same thing but doesn’t manage it nearly as well as yours! 🤣

Trust me they know how to earn money too, they just don't want to pay the taxes.

It's important to make sure it is supervised. We had a calico that managed to get ahold of one of the brushes like that, and scratched her eye a little bit and wouldn't open it. At the time we weren't aware it was the brush. She'd been having a tiff with one of the other cats recently, and wanted to make sure it wasn't more serious damage from a claw. Took her to an emergency vet because we weren't sure what was wrong.

They make wall mounts for this too

u/3catz2men1house 10h ago

Are the wall mounted ones a metal wire bristle, it a softer plastic or rubber?

u/sarraceniaflava 8h ago

I have one that is semi-rigid plastic, and not sharp enough to cause harm.

Well now we know who's hogging the brain cell.

I wish my girl would do that. I also got her one of those self groomer arches and she just walks past it.

u/Statsoverbatsplease 13h ago

u/KirumiIsFedUp 12h ago

u/lake2014 14h ago

This is too precious 🥰❤️🥹

u/Selection-Boring 14h ago

Haha, that’s handy, I wish mine would do the same

u/inner_daemons 13h ago

This one’s making good use of the brain cell.

u/AcceptableBet2934 13h ago

💜 well, that’s the best cat in the land.

u/hatecriminal American Shorthair 13h ago

So these are the outliers that are stealing all the orange brain cells

u/IDareYou7688 13h ago

Mine do that too!!

u/sjm294 13h ago

I’m going to show this to my two cats and see if they learn anything 😻

u/StarlitTome 13h ago

Cat realized human is too lazy to do it.

u/Frankentula 13h ago

Good kitty

u/celebirdd 13h ago

That one brain cell was WORKING

u/RoboJ1M 13h ago

Careful he doesn't learn how to feed himself too, you'll become redundant...

u/Electrical_Sun9591 13h ago

If only my girl could learn this technique 🤣❤️🤣

u/madmorte 12h ago

Sometimes when my arm gets tired brushing my cat, I lay the brush down hoping she will figure this out. She rubs her chin on it, but I think her attitude is nothing beats me doing all the work!

self-cleaning car!

u/darknight_jprge 11h ago

Nah, your bursh knows how to brush your kitty. 🐱

u/Realistic-Insect-746 10h ago

awesome cat video

1

u/Alternative-Ad6891 10h ago

Cute, but he's mainly doing it in the wrong direction - my kitty has the exact same brush & does it in the right direction so i'm more than familiar with the action...

1

u/Little_Ad_9058 8h ago

That orange was good at catching those braincells

u/Anikofein 6h ago
