Does this work well on Persian cats? I have a cat with very fine "cotton candy" hair and the Furminator does not work on his.

I have found it does do a good job. By if your cat has mats be careful not to pull to hard.

Yes I have 2 Ragdoll cats and the comb works great on both cats !!! However my Male Bicolor seems to have a thicker coat and I need to also use a rake on him Not sure why his fur is different was bought from a breeder without papers But his fur will get mats if I don't keep him combed through my female is silky smooth The comb is the best purchase I have made for grooming I also have Chinese Crested Powder Puffs with long hair WORKS GREAT !!!!

We have multiple cats, the short haired ones love the furminator. The long haired one tolerates it but does not seem to enjoy it. This product works great at removing hair, much better than a hairbrush.

It would totally do that. And it's safe because the blades never touch skin. I cut the back of my own hair with it just using it like a comb, so i bet it would work really well on a cat. A furminator is better for long haired cat grooming but way more expensive. This would work. :)

Yes. I have Persian cats. The spayer saturates rather easily, so I spritz very lightly. Works well all over to soften and keep coat silk and smooth. For spot treatments, spritz a little on area and work out gently form bottom of hair up to root of matt. Regular use all over, should keep dogs, less tangled. But try to run a comb through dog daily to have ease of management. I have also heard that groomers sometimes use I believe baking soda (could be corn starch ) directly on dry mat to work out if very stubborn.

Diana, this tool is for long haired dogs. I don't know about using it on long haired cats. Sounds like your calico may be a domestic short hair, so it will not work. A fine-toothed metal brush might work for you. I have cats as well and they just throw hair all the time. Good luck.

It really depends on the type of mats your kitty has. I'm a professional groomer and this is the best dematting/detangling product I have ever used. It works on mats that can be pulled apart with your fingers. it won't work on mats that are knotted tightly and tight to the skin ( no product will work on these types of mats). Most cats have very fine fur and typically get very tight mats unless they are caught early. If your cat won't let you comb him, the product doesn't take the mats out without working them with a brush or comb, so the best thing to do would be to have the mats shaved out and start using a product like this to keep up with his coat in the future.

Hi Theresa...I bought this for my daughter (who also has 2 cats) but she hasn't used it just yet. I hope it doesn't attract a lot of hair!!! She won't be using it until she moves at the end of May, so I'm afraid I won't have an answer to that question until then :(

This works very well on my cats and some of them have very thick fur. Most fleas congregate around the head and rear areas of animals where the fur is not as thick. I would have to say that if you want to catch as many fleas as possible I would use the extra fine comb and just take your time.

I have a Persian cat, so I am not an expert to answer your question regarding Dog, but I think a medium-fine will work OK. A persian cat has a thick coat, so the medium fine propably works OK for a Terrier. If I started over, I would buy a coarse for the persian cat becauese the medium-fine comb doesn't infiltrate the thick hair as well as it could. I think if I purchased the coarse comb for the persian cat, it would infiltrate the thick hair much better. The terrier probably dosen't have as thick of hair as a persian cat, whish is similar to a brick wall. I have a pittmatian dog and I use tape to de-shed. And also there is a grooming mitt for horses that de-sheds pets really, really well. It's called a rubber grooming mitt and it cost $6.00. I use it on my neighbor's Beagle, and the grooming mitt makes her shine like a brand new penny!

I think they make several models for cats- one kind for long hair and one for short, and they also make smaller and larger ones for different sizes of cats. If you didn't want to buy two, I would suggest just getting one for your long haired cat- that's probably the one that sheds the most anyway. You probably wouldn't want to use the long hair tool on the short haired cat, as the tines may be too long and irritate her skin. If you got the short haired one, it might not go deep enough on the long haired cat to be effective since the hair that it removes is the undercoat.

I only use mine twice a week. The softness of the bristles and the glove design make this a great product for cats like yours. I have a 6 month old maine coon kitten and she loves to be groomed by this. As far as for hairball prevention, I really do not know. My cat does not really have that problem. All I can say is give it a try and see if it works. If anything it would give you the excuse to give your cat attention while also grooming it.

I have a Persian cat, so it gets caught up with hair, around the moter, so once a month I take it all apart and remove hair, LOL and yes it does click, just because it is plastic on plastic, for the rotor

No skin, licking, hair problems with mine. It works like a dream for my cat. It also has the added benefit of being a bit of a flea deterrent (because of the lavender), too. It may not work for all cats, but it definitely works for mine.

I would assume that would work wonderfully well- considering our Persian cat has fur that is the finest I have ever seen - wispy type of fur. The clippers have worked well on our border collie/St. Bernard mix dog as well. Good luck!

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.

I am and have been using it on my Persian cats and and other longhair. Their skin is much more delicate and sometimes the #10 (if you are not very very careful) can cut them. Even with this one be very careful around nipples and ears. If kitty is not cooperative - STOP - and make an appointment with your vet to get a lion cut. Again, be very careful please.
