Will this tool help reduce shedding in an ordinary calico house cat? We've tried improved diet but still hair everywhere!

Diana, this tool is for long haired dogs. I don't know about using it on long haired cats. Sounds like your calico may be a domestic short hair, so it will not work. A fine-toothed metal brush might work for you. I have cats as well and they just throw hair all the time. Good luck.

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.

I don't think this would be the best choice to for your cat, although I imagine you could use it. There are tools better adapted for deshedding cats, I think. Furminator or Furblaster might do better. They're both available at Amazon. I did a quick search for furminator cats and got a variety of tools that would work for you. Good luck.

I don't have a cat; however, this works fantastic on my dogs. it removes a lot of undercoat, the shedding is significantly less, and I think they were cooler last summer because of it. And they look better between brushings. I would THINK that having less undercoat would logically translate to less furballs - but even if it did not solve this problem, you would be happy in other ways with this product.

This brush is SUPER effective-- my fiancée and I noticed a huge difference with our cat not coughing up hair balls. You just want to brush your cat consistently (1 or 2x per week depending on length of cat's hair) to ensure that your cat swallows much less hair. Hope it works for you!

Shedding is normal, especially as the seasons change. Lots of brushing will help with that, I recommend the zoom-groom and/or the furminator. I honestly don't believe that this supplement is going to make a difference all by itself but added to a *good* diet it does help. I feed raw and also supplement with fish oil but my Lab still blows her coat in the spring. That's just what Labs do. ;)

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 think so, but would probably take longer. My cats' hair is not super short, but definitely not long and it took a while.

Someone in one of the reviews discovered that a (presumably) identical styling brush is sold for pet use. It can be found under 'Easy Groom Adjustable Pet Grooming Trimmer Razor Comb,' but does not have particularly favorable reviews. Also the original review from where that was observed was a negative review in which they were trying to use it (this product) on a cat. So, maybe... but probably not.

I have two cats that shed a fair amount. The pet hair makes it so you have to clean it out a lot more frequently but it takes care of it pretty well for me.

I have a mixed breed cat, who has the thickest, finest hair that mats horribly, (she's not the kind of cat to get brushed either.... and shave her every year. this beast, (the clipper) takes it off like butter. it's relatively quiet compared to others i've used. I would say YES

Does she have long hair? I would be concerned that it might hurt a little and scare her. All I know is I got it for my long haired himalayan kitty and she always tries to get away when I comb her. I am going to try the ShedMonster one instead. I really think it might work better for me. I wouldn't recommend it.

My kitty loves me to groom her with this. She is a medium haired cat. When she sees me get it, she comes and lays down on the floor in the kitchen. I hold her and stroke it quite hard as if I were petting her. It pulls a lot of hair out of her. It is certainly worth a try if your kitty likes it. P.S. I have the purple glove.

No, and it works so well. When I do my cat I get so much hair it looks like I have 2 cats with all the fur that you get. Great for not getting hairballs.

It definitely helped when I used it! We had a cat that wasn't neutered, and nothing stopped it completely until it was finally neutered. BUT in the meantime, having the Feliway around did help decrease the number of times he sprayed

I would think you would be looking for comb for your cat rather than this hair trimmer unless you are trying to shave the cat. Hope that helps.

I used to clip my two cats during the summer months and I believe I used this clipper; its much quieter than the first clipper I purchased which was an Oster but that was many years ago. I started clipping a Persian I owned many years ago, and have clipped two more sets of cats since then. In my experience their cooperation depends on how much they trust you. Maybe because I had to wash and dip them once a month back then they more easily cooperated with the clipping process?? when you clip them go with the hair growth or it will be very very short. It may not come out very even though. You can also use a comb attachment and clip against the hair growth, but they will really not like that. I would wrap the top paws and head in a towel and lie him on his back to clip his stomach. worked really well. Good luck!!

We have one cat that sheds a lot. As others said it does well in the upright position but takes a little practice with the hand tool.

We have 2 cats both short hair. 1 is thicker than the other. It gets down to the skin. My guess would be it would work. You might have to take your time. I have had a long hair cat before and I would have liked to try it on him. Both of my cats love the furminator. I hope this helps.
