Does this work on cats with matted fur?

I don't see why not. If you think they will sit still for it. My wife has used this clipper on my own head and with amazing results (I use it now in place of my other clipper). It is powerful enough for matted fur. Our dog is wheaten Terrier and her hair grows just like human hair. If we don't give her a hair cut regularly, her hair will grow straight to the ground! And boy does it get tangled and matted! When that happens we just shave her closer. This clipper gets pretty warm, but has not failed to work. (When JD's hair gets that unruly her haircut just takes a little longer. Which she does not mind one bit. She loves all of the attention. Hope this helps. I don't see why not.

I have a dog who gets very matted and we use it on him. We brush a little and then use the clipper, brush some more and clip. it takes a while but it works.

I have 3 cats. I don't recommend for mats . It does not cut thru mats, it will just jank them making grooming very unpleasant. They do have tools that will cut thru tangles and mats.

I don't have a cat; however, this works fantastic on my dogs. it removes a lot of undercoat, the shedding is significantly less, and I think they were cooler last summer because of it. And they look better between brushings. I would THINK that having less undercoat would logically translate to less furballs - but even if it did not solve this problem, you would be happy in other ways with this product.

I don't know whether my cats licked it off each other or if it did it on its own, but they both have bald spots where I applied it to the back of their necks. I wouldn't risk using this product.

My long-haired cat's coat has never been matted. However, the brush does a thorough job of removing the undercoat hairs. I would think that if the coat is not already M-BAR (matted beyond all repair) the brush will do a great job keeping the coat unmatted. Laurel

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 :)

since I do not own a cat, I cannot answer this truthfully but this tool works great on short haired and long haired dogs and I even use it on my horse.

I have 2 cats myself. I have only used it on my cloths and it works really well for me.

No. It didn't work at all with my cats. I used it for months and they just walked right past it.

I never used it on a cat .However our Puggle dog (pug beagle mix)it makes her fur very soft and it's been very safe for us to use it also keeps her from shedding her fur all of the time and makes her fur feel like soft mink coat.Been using this product,for 3 or 4 years now.

I have a very furry cat, this groomer did not work on Buster at all, he didn't care for the rubber texture. Then I tried it to clean some cat hair off furniture and that does not work either. Sorry

NEVER use shears to cut a matted animal. As a groomer I see this too often. Please take your pet to a professional groomer. Cats have very thin skin they need to be shaved with a 10 blade (that's safest). Too many people think it's easiest on their pet to have it done by mom or dad @ home but most of the time the pet winds up acting out & getting cut. It will be cheaper in the long run to do it right the 1st time. If cat stresses, take to vet for sedation & grooming. Pricier but safest. :D good luck!!!!

I work as a professional groomer. Honestly I would never advice anyone to use shears to cut out matts. The practice is EXTREMELY dangerous and could cause a SEVERE injury to a pet.the safest route is using a 10 blade on clippers to remove the matting and let a professional groom your cat. Cat skin is very fragile and elastic and difficult to work with.

You never wet or put cream anything on a matted cat. It makes the whole process worse. This comb does not work well at all. There is another on that is gray on here that is excellent. Use that one. And learn how to do it. Start from the beginning of the hair by the skin and brush downward. Never against the natural way the cats hair grows. If you have severe mats right now cut them out, but not at the skin line. Cut them in half and detangle with your hands by gently pulling it apart at the bottom, not the top by the cats skin line. Then bush the cat. And keep brushing the cat on a regular basis.

My 3 cats are part maine coon and this works wonders on them! They actually really like being combed now. I get my cats groomed and the groomer recommended it it me, best advice ever.

We have a small short-haired cat and a large long-haired cat. The small/purple furminator we have works great on both of our cats.
