14. I have a part Turkish Angora (white) and here is what works for us

TAs do not like to be picked up or held, generally, so that is part of the problem. However, mine will let you follow him around with a soft bristle brush or a mitt (like the Love Glove mentioned in another post) stroking him - just don't make him stay in one place. Neither of these is as effective as a comb but that's the best we can do. He also loves to go outside, especially if you go with him, and will tolerate MUCH more grooming outside. His predecessor, who died last year, was exactly the same with respect to these preferences. So I am hopeful they will work for you too.

My part ragdoll who LOVES grooming of any type likes all of the following, so you might try any of these, but my part TA doesn't like them, so I am not optimistic they will work for you: A slightly moist paper towel or even a very wet (warm) washcloth, followed by a bath towel, a sticky roller (lint brush), a hand held vacuum. He will try to trip you if he sees you with any of these so that you will groom him.
