My fence use is shared with a german short hair, shi'tzu, and 2 medium haired cats. All were babes with they started. Oldest is now 11, youngest 3. They have been altered and all stay within the fence except 1 cat. Its instinct was to strong. It took 2 years but it somehow learned to jump over and eventually just run through the pain.

I've had no issues with my long-haired cats. I have a male who has fought his through and gotten off property. However, the battery must've been low, because he doesn't try when I replace the battery.

I used this on a long coat Chihuahua, but.also on his tail and belly side where the fur is shorter. I'm not sure how it would work for your cat, but it may be worth a try. We are very pleased with the product.

I would say the long-haired furminator. I see little functional difference in the the two, and the longer teeth will reach full fur depth on long- and short-haired cats, while the shorter teeth of the short-haired comb may not reach the necessary depth of undercoat on the long-haired kitties. Perhaps using a slightly gentler hand when using the long-haired comb on the short-haired cat.

Both my cats are 15 lbs or more with short, dense hair. I borrowed a short hair and long hair furminator from a friend and found that the long hair one worked better and reached more hair with less effort. I don't think weight has anything to do with your choice other than the large cat size furminator is wider and easier to use with less stress on the cat. Hope this helps.

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.

This is great on pet hair. I have a Maine coon tabby mix long-haired cat and this peels cat hair off the carpet.

absolutely not! this is a heated hair dryer that would most definitely harm your animal. brushing your cat with a cat brush is the most sensible thing to use. or taking your cat to a groomer.

I have a white long haired cat and he sheds plenty. I bought the Black & Decker vacuum because of that. For me, it works wonderful for pet hair and always use the tool on board that is meant for just that purpose. Happy cleaning!

I have a mixed breed cat, who has the thickest, finest hair that mats horribly, (she's not the kind of cat to get brushed either.... and shave her every year. this beast, (the clipper) takes it off like butter. it's relatively quiet compared to others i've used. I would say YES

I would get the one for long hair cats. My cat is a English shorthair, but I find the long haired one works really well.

We have 2 cats both short hair. 1 is thicker than the other. It gets down to the skin. My guess would be it would work. You might have to take your time. I have had a long hair cat before and I would have liked to try it on him. Both of my cats love the furminator. I hope this helps.

Yes it works great on my long hair. It is quite noisy but as long as it works doesn't bother me.

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.

I think so, but would probably take longer. My cats' hair is not super short, but definitely not long and it took a while.

I have four cats (including two with long hair) but I have never seen it pick up much cat hair. I find some cat hair on the pre-filter, but not a lot. It does a lot better with dust.

Hi Iana,I have not tried this on cats, only on my elderly chihuahua and it help him a lot, you just have to be careful in using a small dose according to the animal weight.Bye
