My 3-month-old kitten hates brushing & sleeps unsafely. Help!

Question

HI, I have a 3 months old male kitten and he dislikes being groomed (brushed), we tried different kind of brushes but he bites them all, another issue is with sleep time, we didn't succeed to teach him to sleep in his place or somewhere safe, he sleeps on sofa edges and usually he falls down,I would really appreciate it if you kindly let me have your advice thank you!

For brushing, I would take time to get Fuji used to the brush first, by placing it on the ground, and offering treats if he shows interest. Then, work on just brushing one or two strokes. Many cats get over stimulated from brushing and will bite and attack, so taking lots of breaks and only doing a brush here and there (with treats in between) can help. As for sleeping, cats will sleep wherever they want if given the opportunity. Making sure the area Fuji is in is safe is best, as is providing high perches or cat beds for him to try out. Ultimately, however, he'll sleep where he wants.
