grooming help required

[cat]

hello,

i recently got Ambrosia who i think is a merino cross. when i got her she was missing some fur. now it is all growing back really thick and the brush i was using isn't cutting the mustard that well anymore! i have no problems in brushing her everyday, as she is very good at being brushed, but i wondered if anyone could recommend what the best brush to use is. i went to pets at home yesterday, but i didn't see anything suitable.

thanks for any help

Hmm what kind of brush do you have now?
Merino hair is quite thick isn't it? So you'll need maybe a slicker brush (with bobbles, i'm not sure if you understand that!) and a comb. But without knowing what you have already I'm not sure if I'm helping !

I've got these for my guineas:

After adopting Mr T, his hair is very thick and he sheds alot. I find that the brush with the bobbles on the end (the second brush in the set) like Popcorn has mentioned is really good for helping with knots and will get out all the shedded hair.

thanks guys.

i have a mikki slicker brush that looks like the one with the bobbles. its ok, but i almost need one that has bristles about 3inches long!

i have never had a proper long hair piggy before. everytime i brush her i look at her and giggle! she just keeps getting fluffier! it amazes me how much hay manages to hide in her fur!
