 A-MAZ-ING Cat Brush December 13, 2008
This cat brush is the most incredible brush on the face of the earth. Seriously. I removed an immense amount of fur from my cat in very little time. In fact, it was as if I had brushed out a second cat. The Furminator also cuts down on shedding, which means less cat hair in my coffee mug. Three cheers for this magical brush!
 It actually cuts the fur December 12, 2008
This brush takes off a TON of fur, but after the first time using it I wondered whether it does so not because it's getting to the "undercoat," but rather, that it's just cutting away at the outside layer -- similar to how some salons will thin human hair by running a razor blade down it.
I tested this theory with an experiment. I took a length of ordinary thread and ran it past the teeth of the Furminator. The thread immediately snapped, cut in two by the razor-edge.
Despite this blunt proof of somewhat misleading advertising, the Furminator *is* a satisfying tool... if you don't mind being satisfied by having a leaner cat after a couple of strokes! On one hand, it does get rid of excess fur simply because it's like giving the kitty a quick (and admittedly even) haircut; but on the other, maybe a haircut isn't what we're thinking of when we want to minimize normal shedding?
BEST DESHEDDING TOOL ON MARKET!!! TRULY!!! December 12, 2008
I have two cats with allergy issues-since I have been using this deshedding tool, I have NO allergy issues. This comb is truly God sent. I have SEVERAL DIFFERENT KINDS of deshedding combs-and this one is truly superior. DO NOT GET ANYTHING ELSE BUT FURMINATOR--BEWARE OF IMITATORS
I have NO stock in this company. I have nothing to gain by saying how wonderful it is-other than sing its praises because it IS truly the BEST deshedding comb I have ever used and I HIGHLY recommend it! Your kitty will love it!! My cats love it!!! I mean it does not shave-it really removed shedding hair. AMAZINGLY HUGE AMOUNTS OF IT with just a few strokes.
Of course you do NOT want to use it on the nipple areas or on any open sores. That goes without saying and applies to any deshedding comb.
Fabulous! FORGET the ShedEnder!! December 8, 2008
OK, for reference, I had a ShedEnder, (another brand of this type of product) and the FURminator is a thousand million times better than the ShedEnder (and I liked my ShedEnder) before purchasing this product.
My cat has medium length hair that is really soft, and had been experiencing hairball problems, even with regular ShedEnder use. Well, with the FURminator, in 5 minutes of use (after just using the ShedEnder), I had about FIVE hands full of fluffy undercoat. Yes, the fur does float all over the place, but that's because the FURminator does such an awesome job at getting it loose, so just keep a lint roller handy for frequent fur-catching on clothing, or better yet, put your cat on a towel and wipe it down every few strokes or when the undercoat starts building up.
I am SO glad that I found this product, and thanks to those who gave such accurate reviews! There's no comparison between FURminator and ShedEnder, FURminator wins, no question!! :)
Furminator for Short-haired kitten December 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this Furminator because my boyfriend is allergic to cats, and I had watched a bunch of (very amusing) YouTube Furminator demonstrations. However, my kitten isn't really that fuzzy to begin with, and while the Furminator does remove hair sufficiently, don't expect it to perform on a short-haired tabby the same way it does on a long-haired cat. Furthermore, you have to be very gentle because the sharp edge can hurt your cat's sensitive skin. I'm actually going to give this to my sister, who has a long-haired (extremely fuzzy) cat.
