Would you recommend this clipper for cats with short hair?

If you don't have a skittish cat yes. The clippers are loud and it freaks my dog out. It cuts good though. Blades don't last very long on my dog but over all I like the clippers.I have never trimmed a cat so GOOD LUCK LOL!!

It's really hard to say it cuts the cockapoo and yorkies hair well but I don't think it would have cut our himilayans. Is the hair matted, and is it superfine /fluffy type or thicker and coarser

I bought the long hair brush for my dog but I also have three cats with short hair. I actually use it on the three cats I am very careful with it bc it is made for long hair. If the hair is very long on the one cat you will need the long hair brush in order to get the undercoat but I would say you could use it on the short hair cat. Just be very gentle.

Yes I would highly recommend this clipper. I have been very happy with the performance and the quality is excellent. The best feature is the fact that it is cordless and is quiet also low vibration so it doesn't buzz your hand to death.

I have two short hair cats, and I've found that the small one isn't enough. I wish I had bought the larger one! The only benefit of the small one is one of my cats is a kitten, so it's small enough to fit him. But it's not big enough to fit the older, larger one! I'd say go with the larger one. :)

I am very pleased with my Wahl pet groomer. It sounds like normal barber shears, so it may scare your kitty.

I would think you would be looking for comb for your cat rather than this hair trimmer unless you are trying to shave the cat. Hope that helps.

I don't have any pets; The swivel sweeper picks up lint and dust from my cheap carpet. If the cat hair is short, I suppose this machine wouldn't have any problems picking them up.

Both my yorkies have really fine hair, and it works very well. I don't have experience with other clippers, but I've noticed you have to cut the same area a few times and in different directions to get it really straight, specially when using those spacers thingies :)

If you are very carefull using it on your short haired cat I'd think it would be fine. I have 3 cats. One of them has a very short, very fine coat. She will tolerate being brushed but really doesn't like it in the same way my long haired cats do. I'd say try it.

Hello as vets we have a cat only clinic as well and we and do use these clippers on our own cats and larger clinic cats. They work well but are really too bulky for most clients for cats and birds, small toy dogs etc. So we have just designed a new range ( after lots of customer requests, very similar to your excellent question ) of cat, children's pets ( Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters etc ) and small breed dog nail clippers called KittyNails and these should be available on Amazon in the next month.PaulSimply Pets Online

Which Furminator u use depends on the breed of your cat (short or long hair), not on its age. If the hair is 2 inches or less then the small should be sufficient. If hair is longer then go for the larger (purple) one. Either one is a great tool.

Someone in one of the reviews discovered that a (presumably) identical styling brush is sold for pet use. It can be found under 'Easy Groom Adjustable Pet Grooming Trimmer Razor Comb,' but does not have particularly favorable reviews. Also the original review from where that was observed was a negative review in which they were trying to use it (this product) on a cat. So, maybe... but probably not.

No, my cat did great with this product. She is a domestic short-hair and she wore it for two months.

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 suggest you get the same one I purchased. Small/Short hair. It's not too wide and it's not intimidating to the kitty.

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.

Both of my cats are bengals, so they have short hair. The friend who originally recommended this has a medium-haired kitty and it definitely worked on his too. Don't know about long hair.
