He is so georgious, those big round yellow & sad eyes,just stoled my heart. I know what you mean about brushing. Our Walter hates it too. I think it hurts them,cause there hair is so fine & easy tangled. Maybe we should call our vet & see what he recommends.I'm going to ask him if hair condioner would hurt them. I had a friend that used people shampoo on her cat & it killed him. It was like poison to him. Give Romeo a hug for me, he's so sweet.
