Does anyone have a good method for keeping a point on a cat's tongue brush? I have made up my own but it works best on a large brush I have and not as well on the small cat's tongue.

(I wash it with soap and water, rinse it well and then shape it with butter and put it in the refrigerator where the butter firms up and holds its shape. I work the point again during the day when I go into the fridge. I rinse all the butter out before I paint and the bristles are supple)

Maybe my little one just isn't well made. Is there a great name brand out there I should know about?
