long-haired Calico. She never "took" to me... always my husband's baby. But he doesn't groom her. She's been letting me cut "gobbies" out of her fur, which I consider a great sign of trust now. Maybe the toothbrush will be an asset... it's worth any amount of trial and error at her age. She's over 20 years old now. A real Queen.
