ominousplay: For the cat fur, I did a lot of experimenting to get the fur texture and length I wanted. I used the hair length tool to shorten the fur around the head, muzzle and feet. Then I used the brush to move the guides in a natural flow on the body (this is easier if you turn off the visibility of the hair so you can see the guides). As for adding guides, the sphere shows you the influence of the brush. Just move the sphere so it intersects the body where you want to add a guide and click.
