We have 4 cats and a kitty sized Furminator.

The two longhaired girls tolerate it, more or less. It’s attention so they don’t outright reject it, but they’d rather be petted and tend to get a bit squirmy and annoyed.

The shorthaired brothers would pretty much let you comb them bald, I think. One will stand there and purr as long as you brush and politely tap your hand with a single claw extended just enough to feel the point of when you stop, trying to get you to resume. The other stands and stares wide eyed, but for him that’s great enthusiasm...if he didn’t like it you’d never be able to get him out from under the bed! Daft skittish beast...

We have 2 and 2, too. Isn’t it ironic that the shorthairs who don’t need the extensive grooming absolutely adore it, and the longhairs are, well, otherwise inclined? Our shorthaired and longhaired dogs were like that, too. Probably because the snarls and matting make it not a fun experience.
