How can I stop my cat from hissing at me?

Friday, November 9th, 2012

I have a 5 years old, long-haired orange cat.  I have to comb him every day to prevent mats in his fur.  I give him treats all the time while combing him.  I give him about 5 treats before I comb his tail even at this time he always hisses at me.  He growls constantly while I comb him.  Why does he get so mad?  How can I get him to enjoy it?

Also, whenever I try to hold him he always gets really mad and sometimes end up hissing. Help!
