I mean, with their rough tongues they basically do already.

The hairball reduction is well worth doing the rest of him.

The entire reason I brush my Izzy. She's a shorthair entirely able to groom herself but she's the worlds pukingest cat so every hairbrush full of fur I take out of her is one fewer hairball. I've also got a tube of CAT LAX (style original) from my vet.

Exactly how my cats do. Gums must be involved.

My kid's cat used to do that. She'd rub herself on a slicker brush forever if you'd sit and let her.

Our cat loves this. I have two stacked on top of each other near her food

One of our previous cats used to do this. Rubbed his chin against it until he bled…and kept going.
