I have two very skittish cats. Does this make a lot of noise? Now my question is, is this( Dremel 7300-N/8 MiniMite 4.8-Volt Cordless Two-Speed Rotary Tool) loud enough to scare my cats?

My dogs are the same way. I don't think this item is very loud - it was recommended to me by the breeder who uses it on all her dogs. When you do it, though, don't exceed 3 seconds for each nail. Also, you want to follow the nail, not go against it because that will push the nail into their paws and that can hurt. By the way - another wonderful use for the Dremel is a pedicure - it grinds away the callouses on your feet just beautifully!

I've never used the corded model, but I'd say the noise is what I expect from this tool. I don't find it to be too loud at all, however I could see it bothering animals. It has a bit of a higher pitch to it, especially when it first starts up.

Hi, The one I had before this was a 12 amp "Dirt Devil." This one is slightly quieter but not by much. I guess I would say the noise level is average, but I haven't had much experience with a wide range of vacuums. My cat doesn't like it though and leaves the room while I use it.

Noise is not excessive, vacuum is great for pet hair removal. I have three cats and they don't mind, however I make sure they are not too close when I use it because they don't like it much.

Cats cannot hear it, but I have wondered about their delicate sensitive nerves though. I don't know if I am imagining it or not, but they do seem to be obsessively cleaning. I use Revolution so they don't have fleas. I need further study.

No, it will not bother the cats. I tried the whistle on our barking neighbor dog and it would quiet him down, but for less than a minute. Then he was back to barking again. This is a training whistle; a very good training whistle, but not a silencer.

I've used this to shave numerous cats at the local animal shelter (mainly due to excessive mats that could not be combed out), and yes, it will work. However, it's true that it is noisy and some cats don't like it, but from my experience, the loud 'click' when it's turned on is the scariest part, so I usually turn it on away from the cat, let them calm down a little and get used to the noise, and then proceed.

I have no idea. Cats don't bark, do they? I use it on a small dog at work and it DOES work. Just curious why you'd need it for a cat..

All my plugins are down low. I have one in the dining room / living room. I do have another plugin but that one seems to serve the purpose. I feel it really helps keep the cats calm, wouldn't be without it.

The one purchased at the pet store was packaged for cats, but comparing them I see no difference. (I now have three of these tools, 1 for cats and two for dogs, I really don't see any difference between the one for cats and the one for small dogs, and the only difference between the one for small dogs and large dogs is that the width of the comb area. ) They have worked wonderful! Not sure that I needed all three, but they are great. Good luck.

Its pretty loud. I use ot on dogs though, and they tolerate it fine. Also, it gets the job done so quickly it shouldnt be an issue. I would think that unless your neighbors are REALLY sensitive or right on top of you it shouldnt be an issue. It's no louder than say and electric leaf blower.

Both my dog and cats like it. Mine makes a soft whirrr noise but I almost have to listen to hear it. Have found it to be very quiet.

I have a cat and a dog and I cam tell you... the sound of the machine is very loud... so loud that my cat ran like crazy the moment I star the vacuum... so if your cat or dog is nervous or noise sensitive I dont recomend it :( sorry... but it is very loud

I'm not an expert here, but the "clips" are wider than for humans. It's not as "quiet" as they said and that was very upsetting for me. I bought it especially for our cats because comments said it was quiet, but they were upset with the noise. It did get stuck once on our Tortie's fur. I wouldn't advice it at all to use on a human. Maybe someone with more experience might be able to answer better than I did.

I have not used the dremel but it has two speeds and with fresh batteries it works very well. I don't know about it being all that quiet either,but it'd have to be silent for it not to upset my dog.

Don't know about cats, but it sure works to help quiet my dogs. I only use it when they are being extra noisy, as my Collie is supersensitive to it and it makes her too nervous.

No, not loud at all. Just a low level vacuum noise. Your poor doggy! :( MY cat always hides whenever I vacuum!
