Too much brushing?

I have a half siamese, half maine coon adult who LOVES to be brushed every day-he will actually go to where his brush is and whine. He purrs and falls over when we brush him so I know it's enjoyable for him. And while I aim to please the "master", I wonder how much is too much; am I brushing off essential oils on his skin and fur? Anyone have an opinion?

I would say you cant brush enough. I have a cat and she always gets matted when I don't brush her. I think its healthy to brush them if they need it. The one thing that would be bad is to much bathing, but since cats don't like that, I would say your probably safe with brushing often. Purrrrr
