Are these too large to use on a cat? I am used to using the small "cat sized" clippers, will I have a problem with these?

How large or small is your cat? My cat is a little over 1 year old and is a 8 pound Russian Blue. The size of these clippers was fine for her.

I think you should judge. I like these and they cut very well I use on toy poodle and very tight curls and cuts with ease. I suggest these as great battery time and you could if necessary use combs that come with it (4) and if shortest slows down clipper just start with biggest and work done, I'm sure this also will work. My thoughts for you get it and you will enjoy it much better than any other clippers to me.Good luck with your decision. Amazon will work with you .

For any cat and for small dogs I would use the extra small size. My cat is 13 pounds and the small was way too big ... The extra small was just right for him ... For larger dogs, I don't know what to say!

Hello as vets we have a cat only clinic as well and we and do use these clippers on our own cats and larger clinic cats. They work well but are really too bulky for most clients for cats and birds, small toy dogs etc. So we have just designed a new range ( after lots of customer requests, very similar to your excellent question ) of cat, children's pets ( Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters etc ) and small breed dog nail clippers called KittyNails and these should be available on Amazon in the next month.PaulSimply Pets Online

Hi Idlewood, I too am a non professional home groomer. After reading many blogs and watching many videos I think using combs is in many ways safer than a bare blade which heats up and burns the skin if not cooled often. If your clipper comes with combs, try to not buy a set which has all the sizes you get with the clipper. Ive used these combs and like them very much. They are put on opposite from the combs I'd used in the past.

You did not leave a lot of information. I have not tried it on a cat but had a cat one time that would get all sorts of balls of hair. I found if one worked the clipper blade all the way to the skin and got under the clots it worked fine. going through the thick wads of hair was not a smooth cut.

I have a hymalayan cat and it works great on her. It is noisy, like a typical clipper. The blade did get hot, so you'll have to use the attachments so the heat doesn't bother her. Otherwise, it works fantastic.

i have never owned the Andis #65785 all I can say is these #21485 are quiet and work sooooo great on my long haired cats, they don't mind and the one old (15 years) is afraid of everything! I have tried some other clippers and she won't let me get close because of the noise and theothers that i have owned don't shave the soft fine fur, they just get stuck in it.

Yes. They're not really size specific however, even with the guard in place I still managed to draw blood on my 3lb Pomeranians nail. You have to hold the clippers at the correct angle for the guard to be effective. I have way better luck using human toenail clippers on my small dogs.

They are average large sized clippers. Meant for toes. They have a convex blade angle. Beware.

I would not recommend this product for cutting your dogs large claws. Its very difficult to cut cats thin claws with let alone a dogs!! I would suggest you use proper dogs nail cutters. You may wish to ask your vet for the best ones to use or you could ask your vet to cut them for you.

These tubes are not large, they look much larger than actual size. They are barely large enough for a big cat paw. They fit into the base tightly and probably can't be removed by the cat. I'm not sure if using them for water will work for You, I think you'll have a huge mess on your hands, and the cats will only be able to access a small of amount of water given the narrow size of the tube.

I would assume that would work wonderfully well- considering our Persian cat has fur that is the finest I have ever seen - wispy type of fur. The clippers have worked well on our border collie/St. Bernard mix dog as well. Good luck!

I think they would work well. The clippers are extremely sharp, and cut through my 60lb dog's nails easily. I have found them to be significantly better than other clippers I've tried.

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 don't think you can go wrong with size. I buy the large cat furminator and use it on all 4 of my cats ranging from small to large and I use it on my extra large dog (over 100lbs), they all have different hair types and it works Great on all of them. If it is just for your small tabby than maybe go with the small, you really can't go wrong. You will love this!

I'm using it on my poodle which has very fine soft hair so I don't see why they wouldn't work on a cats hair. I'm assuming your cutting off hair mats which the fact that they come with different length clipper blade guards which makes them quite flexible as far as hair types and results you are looking for
