ragdoll cats don't have an undercoat , therefore most traditional cat brushes don't work and scratch the skin. would this work f

The tips are rounded, so I would think it shouldn't scratch your cat's skin. I use this for my husky and I do groom her head where there really isn't much long fur/coat. She doesn't get irritated by it.

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 !!!!

This type comb would work, but you might need it in a smaller size for your cats, depending on the density of the coat. I use this size on my dog but use the next size down for my cats that are part ragdoll and have the type of coat you describe. Any of the Andis combs have blunted tips on the comb to prevent scratching the skin.

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.

my cat is kind of people shy but I already knew she liked to be brushed. I think it is more about the liking to be brushed rather than whether or not it is a furminator "brush".

i would think yes. Our cat is similar in size and has no issue with it at all/ should it be tight, the brush is removable, gaining approximately 1"..

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.

Absolutely not! scratching is "their thing". Cats scratch when they are happy. It's in their genes. It's natural. One of my rescue cats is declawed and he still scratches on the post.

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.

My cat that was matted is a long hair and it worked really well. I would think it would be just fine.Hope this helps you.

Well I have a Golden Retriever puppy and she's a long haired dog and the brush doesn't work with her hair. But I also have a rabbit and it works better with his hair. So it might work. Idk ask someone with a cat.

I use it on my mini schnauzer and it works fine. Never shaved a cat, so I can't say if you would have good results.

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.

We use it on our long haired cat to remove matted fur. Worked just fine and cat didn't seem to mind it as it is pretty quiet. I would recommend you try it.

No because DON'T BATHE YOUR CAT. They don't like it. Don't be a bad cat owner.

I have not tried it with my cats because they don't scratch the door. However, I do think it is worth a try, the cost is so low and the benefits are great if it does work.

My long-haired cat's coat has never been matted. However, the brush does a thorough job of removing the undercoat hairs. I would think that if the coat is not already M-BAR (matted beyond all repair) the brush will do a great job keeping the coat unmatted. Laurel

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.

It brushes the undercoat and pulls out all the loose hair, but be careful of matts and knots, because it will yank out all that hair. Brush your kitty first with a gentle brush to get out all the knots, then use this to pull out all the loose hair the brush misses.
