Can this handle shaving the fur of a long, thick-haired cat? I had a Wahl U-clip (not expensive) and it stopped shaving about 1/4 way.

I honestly don't know the answer to that question... I use it on my Shih Tzu and on the chest and back side of my Aussie, who is long haired.. I have only had it for a couple of months but it is working FINE, and I love the detachable blades...makes it soooo nice... I think it would be great for your cat... I'm sure his/her fur couldn't be as thick as my Aussie, especially her back side...

The Andis clipper is a much more heavy duty clipper and should be able to handle your kitty cat's long hair; I have no problem with my curly,thick-haired standard poodle.

This thing can clip through carpet I swear. I'm so glad I spent the extra money on it, I bought some POS from Walmart and returned it that day. I did my research on it and I only read good reviews. It's worth it.

I used to clip my two cats during the summer months and I believe I used this clipper; its much quieter than the first clipper I purchased which was an Oster but that was many years ago. I started clipping a Persian I owned many years ago, and have clipped two more sets of cats since then. In my experience their cooperation depends on how much they trust you. Maybe because I had to wash and dip them once a month back then they more easily cooperated with the clipping process?? when you clip them go with the hair growth or it will be very very short. It may not come out very even though. You can also use a comb attachment and clip against the hair growth, but they will really not like that. I would wrap the top paws and head in a towel and lie him on his back to clip his stomach. worked really well. Good luck!!

I would assume so. My dog is about the size of a cat (12lbs) so size wise you'd be fine. Her hair is wirey though, not at all like a cats. The instructions specify for cat or dog, I don't see why they wouldn't work unless your cat has special needs. Check the return policy with the seller. These are the absolute best value for a higher-end home razor that will last.

Yes, our FURblaster is suitable for long and short haired dogs and cats. Very versatile :-)

Hello,i have a cat but i will try to answer ...when you hold the brush in your right hand the blades brush down the pets coat and remove the hair,when you hold it in your left hand the blades face up. You cannot brush the coat down with the brush in left hand, i have tried when my right hand gets tired. Hope this helps

I don't know because I haven't tried. It is fairly gently but does vibrate a little and makes a low noise. It would probably depend upon your cat and its temperament. Also, I am not sure if the fine hair of a cat might clog up the clipper. I would check with a local cat groomer to get an opinion.

Sure does. Loud noise but try to let your cat get used to the noise before shaving it

The trimmer is not for shaving. I use it a lot to trim hair on the side. I find it better than the clipper. The clipper seems to have a problem with the motor.

This worked on our Persian cat. Very long, long thick hair. Huge hair. Blows people's minds when they seem him. The horse clippers we used couldn't cut through the hair. These do. But, if you have a lot of cutting to do (as we did; he's a barn cat and every summer we have to shave him to get rid of the tangles) you will want to do it in a couple of sessions. All clippers get hot with use. These are simply better than most. They worked for Fluffy.

I have ordered the Andis 10 Cat ultra edge blade from Amazon. I plan to use on my long hair cat, she has a matt on her hind quarters close to the skin. Not safe to cut with scissors. Although the dog blade may work, there must be a reason they make a cat blade.

I have 4 Maine Coons-- haven't used it yet (no "cling-ons" as of yet). Have heard be very careful with any clippers as cat skin is very thin. I did buy this for my Maine Coons though and plan to use it when necessary. Shaved butts are really much easier with long hairs. I usually have vet shave them when they do annual dentals. Hope it works for you, probably will.

My cat has short hair but personally, I wouldn't recommend trimming the hair: the prongs are approx 1/2" long and end up against the cats throat because of the weight. To me, it would be especially uncomfortable on bare skin even when turned off, or nowhere near the device.

I would think so. I use it on my long haired cat and the dog. It works on silky soft and wiry hair so it should work on Persian hair. The blade is not replaceable though so when it gets dull you have to replace the entire unit. At this price, that isn't a bad deal. Mine has been working well for almost a year, so I'm happy.

I have groomed many cats with my wahl arco se using the fine and coarse blade. I like them both and the fact that they don't get hot is a huge time saver. Be extra careful using the coarse blade as the teeth are farther apart and therefore easier to catch loose skin.

I use it on my golden. It is the best clipper I have found. It is easy being cordless. It is strong enough to cut through the fur though it does take a while with all the layers. My Golden loves it and feels so much better when she is shaved.

Thats exactly what I bought it for and it works perfectly! The only thing is you have be very careful because you can easily cut your pet. If you go nice and smooth you will not have any issues. I use this to shave my dog and then I use normal clippers to do the finish work around the face and paws. This clipper is loud and a bit heavy but I havent had any trouble using it.

YES. This was recommended by the Vet. And, I've had great success with it. Scissors are dangerous on cats as their skin is so thin - you can accidentally pull and cut skin without realizing. This kit is great. It has several sized 'combs' so that you can manage the length of hair you remove on your cat. I use this on my long hair cat who gets terrible mats. Surprisingly the cat does not mind the vibrations of the clipper at all and is obviously more comfortable once the mats are removed. MUCH safer than scissors!
