Can this brush be used on a short haired cat by chance and be effective?

I used this on a long coat Chihuahua, but.also on his tail and belly side where the fur is shorter. I'm not sure how it would work for your cat, but it may be worth a try. We are very pleased with the product.

I don't have a cat to try on, BUT I don't see why it would not work on a short hair cat also.

I am not sure how much hair it will capture. If nothing else they will enjoy the massage.

I didn't- but I had a lab and my cat was short haired. I imagine you would want to groom if the animal was matted. Just bought one for my dane/weim mix and we didn't bathe her first (she's terrified of water- waiting until it warms up because we know we will probably get a bath with her!). It's working fine.

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!

It depends on the type of animal you have. I'm sure it's great for short haired pets, but we have a Great Pyrenees and the hair gets wrapped around the brush every time we use this vacuum in his room.

For a short haired cat, I'd just comb them more. This cuts coat and I don't think that's what you really want.

Yes. The very short hairs around my cats legs, tail, face, and belly were very easily removed.

This trimmer might clip your cat's fur too short. The trimmer runs really load. It scared my dogs. I threw it out.

I would imagine it would. I have been picking up long hair cat hair but it is picking up hair that I couldn't even see with the naked eye. It really works better then I expected.

Hi Terri: I have not tried the Furminator on a small short haired dog: However, next time I go to the animal shelter I will try it on a few different dogs and get back to Amazon with my experiment.

A small size in length and bristles would work best for cats. The large one doesn't extract the fur out well between their front or hind legs. I tried using my large furminator on my cats and it did not work at all.

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

I love it for my cat, it gets an incredible amount of hair off; so much better than a "regular" brush!

I don't know because I haven't tried. It is fairly gently but does vibrate a little and makes a low noise. It would probably depend upon your cat and its temperament. Also, I am not sure if the fine hair of a cat might clog up the clipper. I would check with a local cat groomer to get an opinion.

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!).

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.

I don't know. My cats both have medium-length hair and this was the first tool I tried and it didn't work for either of them. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

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.
