I think cats don't like their bellies rubbed in general.
Brushing is a good thing, you'll have fewer hairballs.

I brush my cat's teeth, but I've noticed she only gets bad breath whenever I feed her the canned food with fish flavours so I stay away from that, and now it's fine.

If a cat has bad breath the fur usually doesn't smell too great either, so if you eliminate the bad breath you may not have to do anything about the fur.

I love to give my cat baths though, but the waterless kind otherwise I'd be six feet under.
There's a mousse that lathers and you just dry it off. You can find it at PetsMart and Petco.
Foaming Waterless Cat Shampoo

I have dry shampoos too in Sun-Ripened Raspberry, Cucumber Melon, Gingerbread, and Peppermint.
I also have sprays in tropical scents to condition the fur and to make it shiny and healthy. All these products are specifically for cats. I got them at PetsMart.
I only use the shampoos though.
HTH.

I think Tortilla would like a peppermint scented mist. After all, she does like to play w/ mint candies & was very interested in my peppermint scented 3-in-1's.

I don't know if she'd be so fond of getting her teeth brushed. But I'd be interested in knowing what type of toothpaste you use on a cat.

I was browsing on the Petsmart website & found this: Soft Claws Nail Caps. I was just reading the application instructions in the product description & I don't think that any cat would sit still during that. A couple of months ago, I was wishing there would be some type of product like that b/c Tortilla was having issues w/ scratching people. Her claws are really sharp, so I tried to give her claws a little trim in an attempt to solve the problem. I gave up after 5 claws. I'm surprised I escaped that incident unscratched.
