Flea Comb, Glove Or Brush

[smurfchops]

My cat doesnt lke her rump being stroked, it is as if it hurts, she sort of turns but warns, doesnt bite. At this time of the year she needs a lot of brushing, I want to get the maximum of hairs out that are moulting. I have a wide wire brush which seems to hurt her rump. Would a plastic glove be kinder although the teeth seem so far apart. i am seeing a lot of white bits in her fur, which I presume are eggs, but should the Advocate I am using kill the fleas?

Whichever causes least distress to your cat.

Get one of those double-sided flea combs that Asda sell (usually on a display stand, next to the pharmacy) as nit combs:

Use the wider-spaced side at first and then, when you've got any tangles out of her fur and she's got used to you combing her, use the other side.

Has your vet not prescribed Frontline or similar?
That seems to be very effective.
