Ultimately, it is best to experiment with different grooming techniques and tools to see what your cat responds best to.

The short answer is that it is unknown if brushing cats relaxes them, but there are a few theories. One theory is that the brushing motion may stimulate the cat’s natural grooming instincts, which may in turn lead to a calmer cat.

Can you brush a cat with a human brush?
There are a few brush types designed specifically for cats, and most brushes will work fine as long as they are soft, with a durable handle. The bristles should be flexible so that they can easily reach the cat’s coat and avoid snagging.
If the brush is designed specifically for cats, it may have a built-in rubber guard to protect their fur and keep the brush from becoming embedded in their coat.
Should I pet my cat with a toothbrush?

Do cats like being kissed?
There is no definite answer to this question as it depends on the individual cat. Some cats may enjoy being kissed on the cheek, while others may prefer a more affectionate kiss on the lips.
Some cats may even enjoy being picked up and carried around. Ultimately, it is up to the individual cat to decide what type of kiss they would like.
Is it OK to brush a cat everyday?
It depends on the individual cat, their health, and the frequency of brushing. Some cats may only need to be brushed once a week, while others may need to be brushed more frequently, every day or even multiple times a day.
Brushing a cat should always be done with a soft, lint-free cloth and using moderate pressure. The goal of brushing is to remove loose hair, debris, and dirt, as well as to remove any dirt, hair, or food that may have collected in the cat’s teeth and gums.
Brushing should not be used to stimulate a cat’s coat, as this can cause irritation and even injury.
Why do cats hate being brushed?
Cats have different personalities and may react differently to various forms of touch. Some cats may enjoy being brushed, while others may resist or even attack the brush.
Some reasons why a cat might resist being brushed can include fear of being restrained, fear of the person brushing them, or a dislike of the smell or feel of the brush. Some reasons why a cat might enjoy being brushed can include the attention, being petted, or the opportunity to chase the brush.
Can you Overgroom a cat?
It depends on the individual cat and their grooming habits. Some cats may enjoy being groomed, while others may resist.
Generally speaking, however, it is not recommended to overgroom a cat as this can lead to mats and tangles, and can cause discomfort and distress. If your cat does not enjoy being groomed, consider using a brush and grooming soap rather than a comb and brush.
Why does my cat bite me when I brush her?
There are a few reasons why cats may bite when they are being brushed. One possibility is that the cat is feeling threatened or defensive.
If the cat is being brushed against its will or if the brush is being used in an aggressive manner, the cat may feel threatened or defensive and bite in response. Another possibility is that the cat is resisting the brushing by biting.
If the brushing is being done too roughly or if the cat is being pulled away from the brush too forcefully, the cat may bite in response.
Conclusion
Based on the text, it seems that cats may not enjoy being brushed with a toothbrush as much as other methods. However, some cats may enjoy the process if they are slowly introduced to it and have a positive association with the toothbrush (e.g. being rewarded with treats). Ultimately, it appears that whether or not a cat likes being brushed with a toothbrush depends on the individual cat.
