I have used this product on my dog who has very fine hair that tends to mat around his feet and legs and it works very well. If the mat is too thick however, I do have to cut some off instead. Nevertheless, I think it is a good product and would work in helping to prevent matting also.

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.

Honestly I wouldn't waste your time with it. I didn't feel it was worth it the groomer I used took charged $20 to demat my puppy

Never used on cats, but it will work. I know cats do not usually like to be sprayed so maybe spray on hands then rub it thru him. It should work very well! Works great on my Beadred Collie that has extremely long,thick hair. For the price it is well worth it! Good Luck!

I don't know about cats but our dogs have long fur and an undercoat that can get pretty badly matted and that's what I use this for. I drench the mat with the D-Mat and rub it in good. After it sits for a minute or 2, I take a mat splitter and start working the mats out a little at a time, working from the ends up toward the skin. It still takes patience but before finding D-Mat, the only recourse was to cut the mat out, leaving a bare spot. It's not magic but if you're willing to take some time, it cuts the work in 1/2.

If he will let you spray it on him and rub it in a bit, it does seem to help loosen them. It won't get rid of them completely, but it does seem to prevent the tangles from getting worse as the fur grows out, so in theory after a while the mats could just be pulled right off.

Not really sure at this point as my experience with this product was a disaster! I would imagine that it depends on the cats personality. But, remember, it will spray you too if you are in range. YIKES!

Yes, it could possibly help, if your cats respond the way my cats have. When they get too rambunctious with one another I spray some Nature's Miracle on a cloth (or an old sock) and make sure each of the smells it. Then I lay the cloth in the vicinity they are in. If I keep a cloth (refreshing it with the spray a few times a day) in the general are during the day it helps immensely. But you have to keep it up, or they will go back to their old habits. Don't expect one spray per day to do the trick. It has made my life so much easier, and has calmed my cats down.

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.

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.

No. For that, you want to buy a spray called Boundary Indoor/Outdoor Cat Repellent. They also have a powder form.

I use it for a very nervous, jumpy cat. It works for that, but I've had no problems with spraying so I don't know.

I think scissors and the regular combing would be better. The trimmers are good for large areas but may not be selective enough for your cat

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 double and triple coated Ragdoll cats and use it successfully - it should work for you

I cannot answer you because I am not a Vet - this was recommended to me by my Vet for my female cat's particular problems that had nothing to do with spraying so I would advise you to ask your Vet regarding your cat's particular problems.

Hi David. I would say yes to a Pom, though you may have trouble getting to his undercoat. The bristles are not super long, so I would suggest a rake for that part, but this brush works great on topcoats and longhaired cats. Either way, you'll likely find it useful :)

I did not try using it for that, but it might be worth a try. I have a ferral cat problem. The cats would spray all over my porch and furniture, and sleep on the furniture as well, leaving fur all over the cushions. I couldn't use my porch because of the cats. The spray does seem to deter the pests but I had to spray several times per week.

I have a very furry cat, this groomer did not work on Buster at all, he didn't care for the rubber texture. Then I tried it to clean some cat hair off furniture and that does not work either. Sorry

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 have a small dog, chihuahua/tea cup poodle mis, and the fur around her eyes always gets long and in her way. i've used this comb hair trimmer around her eyes and it works. i do not see why it wouldnt work on ur cat also!

Honestly, I've tried all sorts of bitter apple and anti-scratch sprays for my couch and my plants but nothing has worked. This specific product does not spray, it's a stick with a sponge on it so it wouldn't be good for the carpet. You might want to try bitter apple spray. You can try keeping a scratching post near the areas they like to scratch, and keep cat nip on the post. You can buy a spray cat nip that works very well and spray it on the post. You can also try a scratching "pad" that looks like a piece of carpet, put that on top of the area they keep scratching, and put cat nip on it. I also use a clear double sided tape to protect the arms of my couches and it works very well. I just have to remove the tape when I have company. The problem with cats is that once they "mark" and area with their pheromones it seems to be hard to get them to stop going back to that area. Lastly, you should get those cardboard cat scratchers, my cats love them. Again, you can put cat nip on it to get them attracted to it. Scratching is actually required for a cat to be healthy, you just have to find other things for him to scratch. You should try all the options I've mentioned to find out what your cat(s) like best. I have a brand new house with all new furniture and don't believe in declawing so we have been trying everything. Each of my cats likes something different. Good Luck!!
