Slickers

If one has a cat with longer fur then they may appreciate a little help with keeping their coat well-groomed. For that purpose a slicker brush is very useful: I have two of the things. The one on the left of the picture is twenty-five years old and has seen a great deal of use, with some of its wire bristles bent out of alignment or broken off. The damage at the end of its handle was due to a certain dog getting hold of it. I’ve had the black plastic brush for a mere fifteen years or so. I bought it after misplacing the other one. These are implements which seem prone to misplacement, but having two it’s usually not so hard to find one of them.
