Would this work for a long-haired cat?

absolutely not! this is a heated hair dryer that would most definitely harm your animal. brushing your cat with a cat brush is the most sensible thing to use. or taking your cat to a groomer.

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.

I have a white long haired cat and he sheds plenty. I bought the Black & Decker vacuum because of that. For me, it works wonderful for pet hair and always use the tool on board that is meant for just that purpose. Happy cleaning!

I use it on my cat who gets these thick mattes on his back. So it will work, but you just have to go slowly and do a little at a time. You can't just shave like you see the professional groomers do.

Yes, I think it will work, my cat is only 1 yr. old and she loves to be brushed.

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.

yes. It does fine. I also have a long hair cat and it picks up beautifully.

I've used it on matted hair on a Great Pyrenees, so it should work on a cat. However if you are not planning on shaving your cat, thinning shears work great by cutting into the Matt and brushing.

I would say the long-haired furminator. I see little functional difference in the the two, and the longer teeth will reach full fur depth on long- and short-haired cats, while the shorter teeth of the short-haired comb may not reach the necessary depth of undercoat on the long-haired kitties. Perhaps using a slightly gentler hand when using the long-haired comb on the short-haired cat.

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.

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 :)

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.

i would think yes. Our cat is similar in size and has no issue with it at all/ should it be tight, the brush is removable, gaining approximately 1"..

I'm sorry, I don't really know anything about cats ... I would think it you bought a longer one you could use that on a short hair

I don't have cats, but my dogs has cat like hair. It might be a bit large though, you don't want to hurt them. Might be easier to control the one made special for cats.

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 have a cat with very long hair. It picks up a ton of hair, I couldn't say how it will work for dog hair.
