I brush my cat once in the morning and then before bedtime, on the ottoman in the living room.She loves this brush, and the great thing about this is that I brush with the one side and then after she jumps down, I flip to the lint remover side to clean all the fur off of the ottoman. (We actually wore the lint remover side out and purchased a new one. (Another great thing about this marvelous brush in that it is under$10!)
