has anyone had any experience with using this for long haired cats like ragdolls. They don't have an undercoat but are still quite hairy.

Yes. I use it quite successfully on my birman. Does an excellent job of getting all loose and dislodged hair out of coat

Each of our cats have worn one full time and done fine with it. We use it to keep them from going out the dog door. We have never had an issue with skin problems. Our previous cat who we had for his whole life and our current cat both are shorter haired cats.

It would totally do that. And it's safe because the blades never touch skin. I cut the back of my own hair with it just using it like a comb, so i bet it would work really well on a cat. A furminator is better for long haired cat grooming but way more expensive. This would work. :)

I haven't found that to be a problem with my dogs and cats. It seems to be working similar to a flea comb. I did find that it did take some top coat away and I think if you hit the same area over and over you could get a bald patch. Would I use this on a show coat? No, but for pet dogs and cats, even horses, yes I would use without hesitation. If this was used on a dog or cat with a very long coat, it might indeed cut the hair. I mean the blade of the comb looks like a clipper blade, but not sharpened, so there is that.

Well I have a cat so his hair gets all over the place. So not so well. But if you have a lent brush its gonna get the job done, though it will take you a good 10mins to get all the hair off

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.

Never used on a cat. Use on our miniature schnauzer but don't think it would work well on matted hair. Would use scissors for that. It is very quiet and not a lot of vibration.

This brush is excellent at removing cat hair. I have Ragdoll cat, which has long hair. His shedding on the furniture was driving me crazy until I found this brush. I even bought one as a gift for my cleaning lady to take with her to her other jobs, because she loved how easily it removed my cat's long hair from the furniture.

I think they make several models for cats- one kind for long hair and one for short, and they also make smaller and larger ones for different sizes of cats. If you didn't want to buy two, I would suggest just getting one for your long haired cat- that's probably the one that sheds the most anyway. You probably wouldn't want to use the long hair tool on the short haired cat, as the tines may be too long and irritate her skin. If you got the short haired one, it might not go deep enough on the long haired cat to be effective since the hair that it removes is the undercoat.

I use mine on my long-haired cats. I would suggest you consult a breeder of Red Bone German Sheppard's on what they use and suggest you use.

You would have to purchase the comb application set with different size combs, the groomer is amazing . I would trim you cat more often and keep a certain length to avoid matting. Comb once a day with a " furrmanator comb " . My Maine Coon , best time to groom with furmanator was first thing in morning.

Did you ever find any answers about this? I am having trouble finding any information about using this for cats, whether topically or orally. I finally tried some on one of my big (about 12 pounds) cats yesterday. I rubbed about 2 millimeters of the paste between her shoulder blades. She was covered in fleas, and honestly I don't see any today. She showed no ill symptoms, but I am a little concerned about long term effects.

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 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 have found it to be very good at removing long hair from the dog so will no doubt work for the cats as well. It takes a bit of work but is worth the effort and is the most successful item I have yet found for pet hair removal. I have used it on carpet, furniture and blankets..

It works on cats. Removes mats and shortens hair. I have used this on my long hair cat. I use on my hair - I have not use on my dog yet, that is next!

I have not had a problem with that at all. Practically no hair on the Velcro, and I have a long-hair cat. Hope I helped :-)
