TWB's List of Curiosities: Grooming
More often than not, people adopt the cat with very limited understanding of what a feline is & what their requirements are.
The cat is the only domesticated species in the feline family — that is to say, the cat has been tamed to need & accept the care of humans — but they have not strayed far from their ancestors. In fact, the cat is physically & behaviourally identical.
There is no such thing as “my cat doesn’t play”.
Your cat is a hunter & to play is to hunt.

The rubber is exceptional at collected loose fur & can be used to removed fur from fabric surfaces, such as sofas & pillows.
