If you start grooming them while they are young, it will become normal to them as they grow old. However some cats do not take kindly to grooming sessions. You do not need to force them. You can only give them a gradual grooming session, like you are going to brush one part of his body today and another tomorrow. 

Grooming Your Dog

Dogs do not spend time in doing self-grooming the way cats do. So, they rely most of it on their masters. In grooming a dog, brush first their fur before you give them a bathe. This will remove the loose fur that reduces the effectiveness of the shampoo. When brushing your pet's fur, you need to be systematic. Start from the head then to the back, to the all parts of the body. Be gentle in brushing your pets fur because when you hurt them, it will cause them some stress and may run off. Maintain the  friendly strokes until they enjoy the grooming sessions with you.
