I would say yes. I use it on my long haired lab and it is amazing. I had a long haired cat for 10 yrs and wish i had this when i had my cat

My Aussies have long hair and thick under coats and it works great. I am not sure if it is the right tool for long silky hair like a yorkie.

This type comb would work, but you might need it in a smaller size for your cats, depending on the density of the coat. I use this size on my dog but use the next size down for my cats that are part ragdoll and have the type of coat you describe. Any of the Andis combs have blunted tips on the comb to prevent scratching the skin.

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.

I have a long haired cat (Persian) and it works great! Takes out the toughest knots! My only complaint would be the fur ejector. It fills too quickly with fur and I have to keep ejecting it.

It should. We use it on our tabby, who has medium length hair, but also on our spaniels who wear their hair long in the withers and flanks. I have been satisfied, and I think the animals are too. The cat has been shedding rapidly as we transition to our wet season (Florida), and one of the spaniels too, and I think it helps.

I am and have been using it on my Persian cats and and other longhair. Their skin is much more delicate and sometimes the #10 (if you are not very very careful) can cut them. Even with this one be very careful around nipples and ears. If kitty is not cooperative - STOP - and make an appointment with your vet to get a lion cut. Again, be very careful please.

Yes, I used it on my thick haired Persian kitty yesterday. The DVD it comes with is more geared toward dog grooming, but it does have a few tips that can be applied to cats as well :)

My cat that was matted is a long hair and it worked really well. I would think it would be just fine.Hope this helps you.

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.

Don't have a cat but I have girls with long hair. This thing was useless for everything on our hardwood floors. I returned it after a week.

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!). Specifics can be found here: http://www.furminator.com/pet-deshedding-solutions-tools/cat-grooming-deshedding-tools.aspx.

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.

Yes, our FURblaster is suitable for long and short haired dogs and cats. Very versatile :-)

I bought the long hair brush for my dog but I also have three cats with short hair. I actually use it on the three cats I am very careful with it bc it is made for long hair. If the hair is very long on the one cat you will need the long hair brush in order to get the undercoat but I would say you could use it on the short hair cat. Just be very gentle.

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 a cat and a dog with long hair. I have had no problems with this picking up the hair or litter, but hair does build up on the red piece in the center of the cartridge. You will need to regularly clean this piece off for optimal performance.

I only use mine twice a week. The softness of the bristles and the glove design make this a great product for cats like yours. I have a 6 month old maine coon kitten and she loves to be groomed by this. As far as for hairball prevention, I really do not know. My cat does not really have that problem. All I can say is give it a try and see if it works. If anything it would give you the excuse to give your cat attention while also grooming it.
