vet said brushing will make her less itchy, but did not disclose it would make her more bitey

notice she’s not really biting me, just expressing her displeasure. if she wanted to she could have run off at any time 🏃‍♀️

edit: Mika gets overstimulated super easily which is why brushes don’t work. The vet recommended this comb bc it doesn’t touch her skin. She gets overstimulated by long strokes and doesn’t like her back touched, so she recommended I stick to short strokes in permissible areas. She did not know there are NO permissible areas for brushing‼️

My vet would say this is 100% calico behavior. I say that as a momma to a calico angel.
