Has anyone used this to remove mats out of a long-haired cat?

Yes but it didn't work that well for me for mats...which was the reason I got it. But it does make my cat happy just to comb her... it must feel good and seems to thin out her hair a little. I'm still glad I got it. Works on people as well. :)

Yes, That was the reason I got this item. It works ok - but could work better! but over all it does work. The cat has other ideas about sitting still for the mat removal - electric clippers are out of the question, so this is the best working solution, for now.

the Furminator works best on long-haired cats...just don't pull too hard as it pulls the skin.

No, but i would think it would work fine, use the side with the larger spacing between teeth.

I work as a professional groomer. Honestly I would never advice anyone to use shears to cut out matts. The practice is EXTREMELY dangerous and could cause a SEVERE injury to a pet.the safest route is using a 10 blade on clippers to remove the matting and let a professional groom your cat. Cat skin is very fragile and elastic and difficult to work with.

I purchased S/M but did not use it; my long hair cat wouldn't tolerate the very strong velcro closing which caught a lot of hair as we closed velcro straps, then when removing it, the force needed to actually pull the straps apart made it very difficult to comfortably remove. We purchased the standard harness; no problem.

You never wet or put cream anything on a matted cat. It makes the whole process worse. This comb does not work well at all. There is another on that is gray on here that is excellent. Use that one. And learn how to do it. Start from the beginning of the hair by the skin and brush downward. Never against the natural way the cats hair grows. If you have severe mats right now cut them out, but not at the skin line. Cut them in half and detangle with your hands by gently pulling it apart at the bottom, not the top by the cats skin line. Then bush the cat. And keep brushing the cat on a regular basis.

Yes! This product really works. I have one in the basket right beside my chair at all times. It works quite well on everything. I would not exert a lot of pressure on delicate fabrics like cashmere. I have a long haired white and fawn cat. I wait until I'm ready to leave before dressing but the few hairs that I do pick up are picked up with the 3M Pet hair Remover. I had quite a search before I found refills available on this site.

Yes, I use it to remove cat hair and dog hair from clothing and from the upholstery and carpeting in my cars!

My cats seem to like to toss up hair balls on the sofa....So, yes, I've used the manual tool on this type of spot, and it works great! I have not tried to clean the whole sofa, however.

Never used on a cat. Use on our miniature schnauzer but don't think it would work well on matted hair. Would use scissors for that. It is very quiet and not a lot of vibration.

It depends on what you are trying to do. If you only want to remove mats or comb the cat, then this is not the right tool. This is a coat stripper and it removes hair and shortens coats considerably.

I LOVE this for my short-hair cat. He always gets horrible mats on his back and this prevents them and breaks them up. He loves to have me use this on him. So does my long-hair cat who does not have mat problems. They don't like any other types of brushes or combs.

I have not that experience. However, when I let the rollers pass over a fringe on a hall carpet runner, the fringe got caught and got wrapped around the rollers. It was easy to clear. I do have a long haired cat and I am amazed at how much fur and dirt goes into the dirt compartment.

I have the 41A and it is excellent for removing per hair from outmr couch. This thing will work great for short hair animals but our long hair cats clog up and stop the roller pretty easily.

The furemover rubber-like material picks up lik a magnet on hard wood and tile flooring. Even dust. The hair will stick and must be cleaned off for better traction. Don't know about cat litter

I purchased this for a Scottish Terrier and it works great. I'm not at all sure this would work with a cat's hair. I would look for more of a shedding tool designed for cat fur, as its quite different than dog hair.

We have a long hair cat and it does an excellent job of picking up pet hair from our rugs and wood floor. I can't believe how much is in the bin when it is emptied

I have two, short-haired tabby cats. This vacuum has done well picking up their fur off the carpets and from their favorite hanging out places. The power hand tool works okay, but is not a miracle solution. It may be that the type of upholstery that I have is harder to clean than others because it is a heavy weaver with texture. I also can't say how it would do for fur off a long-haired breed of cat or dog. You do have to wipe out the inner filter occasionally if it gets plugged up with lint or fine particles to keep the suction up, but this is so much more effective and easier to use/maintain than my previous uprights. I think this vacuum is a good value and efficient performer. I have two, short-haired tabby cats.

I only use clumping litter, but even then there is residue on paws that track. That is what this may helps to catch. I don't think it would matter if the cat had long hair.
