"AndyMan" loves to be brushed with a hard-bristled plastic brush something like this one, but from the dollar store with shorter bristles. He actually begs to be brushed. Comes to his table and marches back and forth until I get the "brush me" message. He has a short shiny coat.

I bought a brush like that. Not scratchy enough for Mao. She doesn’t like it.
She just got brushed. She jumps up by my left side, when I’m on the computer, walks in front of me. Beeps a couple times. Maybe gives me a head butt, or a tail slap. Then she jumps down by my right side, and shoots off. I’m supposed to chase her! She loves that. She’ll head for the stairs, or will jump on top of the fridge. Then she heads for her brush. If I move them, I ask her “Where’s your brush?” She searches until she finds it, then nudges it with her nose, and looks at me. Pretty hard to resist that treatment!
