Is this brush good for use on a Siamese cat? Shorter hair?

No. The brush tips are uncovered. I game mine to a friend who has a shorter haired cat and once again the cat hated it. Buy some with the plastic coated tips if you want a good brushing and a happy cat.

Hi - The bristles are made of metal and are very sharp. I would look for a comb instead or a nylon brush. I just feel like this one is too sharp and may hurt their skin if they don't have thick hair.

if your kitty has thick fur it would be fine. I wouldn't want to use it on thin furred cats since it is a wire brush.

Yes - in short. We use this on our Siamese, which has medium/short hair, and sheds like crazy. Works very well, even though, I would imagine, it would work even better on longer hair. The bristles are not too firm or long for short hair, and would be best suited for removing excess fur. The only thing I would suggest on very short haired cats is too be gentle with the brush. The bristles are not coated or tipped, so could scratch with firm use.I love this product, and my cat loves it too.

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.

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.

My cat has medium length hair and the buzzing and slight shock does get through his fur and deters him, so I would think it should work for long haired cats as well.

If the cat's hair is 2 inches or less buy the "short hair" version. If it's longer than 2 inches buy the "long hair" version. For both the short and long hair versions I would recommend just buying the "large" version, unless your cat is very small. I have both the small and large; the large is the only one we really use (btw, the large short hair version also works wonders on our dog!).

No. The bristles are built differently as dogs and cats have very different fur. If you're trying to save money, don't order the one for a cat. I just got mine about two weeks ago and it truly is a miracle product. I would gladly pay double the price!

I know that it works well on carpet, but do not know about cat fur/hair. I would THINK that it would work on the cat fur/hair, but would imagine that like any brush, it would be some work to remove the picked up fur and hair from the brushes.

I am guessing that cat hair is to fine for the comb. It is more for a dog. A Flea Comb (for cats) would be better for your cat. I use that for my cats.

I'm not sure because I use it for a Wire Fox Terrier dog and the cat hair is finer. A good place to ask would be a groomer at Petsmart what blades they use to groom your kind of cat. I have found them to be helpful. Also look on the internet or U tube. Maybe someone else here will answer. Good luck.

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.

This is the only brushing tool my cat likes, and she loves being brushed with this mitt! She is a short haired cat though, not sure how it works on longer hair but it's worth a try if your cat doesn't like other brushes. It is very important that long haired cats get regular brushing, so try it!

I would say probably. Although it is a cat brush, we use ours on both our Siamese and our Yorkshire terrier. The cat loves it, dog not so much. BUT, YMMV. Our Yorky has thinner hair and perhaps more sensitive skin. As this brush has been criticized by some as having sharp bristles, it might be great, it might not. If I had a Pomeranian, I would certainly try this product and see. If your doggie likes it, you will be very happy with the results that this brush will deliver. It is a great brush.

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 threw all but one away because I use it to clip my Himalayan cat. I clip just enough off to make her look like a little bear. I would not worry about clipping it to short if you use one of the guards that is designed for long hair cuts (I threw away, did not need). Overall this pet clipper kit works good.

I don't think it would work so well on short hair because the barrel of the brush is really large. I think it would work better on medium link to long here

It does a pretty good job in short dog hair. So it should do pretty good on cat I would would hope.

It's the only groomer my cat doesn't totally hate, but I didn't get the cat till he was 3 years old and was always self-grooming (Angoras are meticulous groomers). I'm pretty sure your cat will like it since it has no sharp edges and it attracts hair with static electricity to the silicone bristles, which are more like blunt pegs.

The same as the others, my cat have short hair, but on him it work nice. My cat love that.
