As a warning, furminators have blade in it (nothing that will cut your cat) but it will keep puling hair out until there's nothing left. You need to get a feel for when you've removed the undercoat (fluffy stuff) and top before stripping too much top coat. Also run the furminator along your bare arm first, it won't feel too good. This will give you a feel for how lightly you want to brush the cat, if you pull the brush up at a slight angle it won't run over their skin as much and will still remove plenty of undercoat. Cats have very thin skin and it's easy to give them brush burn if used too hard. Brush burn is a sort of rash, you can part the fur and see red skin with the stripes (in the direction it was brushed) its painful for the cats and there's not much to be done about it other than wait for it to heal. And it will make the cat less likely to want to be brushed in the future. Read instruction carefully.

Another warning, these furminators are not good for long haired cats. You pull all their protective under layer out. Seems at first that you are doing a good job but later on their skin gets wounds and scabs - a cat groomer told me to buy a metal comb and a slicker brush. So i did and that works so much better.. happy Kitty too😻

Furminatores DONT have a blade in them, it’s a device that’s usually used to groom cats during shedding seasons. If it’s used on daily bases it might cause some balding spots (due to access brushing, which pulls more hair than intended) but furminators never hurt cats if it’s used properly.

This product works too well! I tried it on my cat and it's a huge pain. So much fur came off. And like the cat in the video my cat also keeps rolling side to side, so he gets caught up in the fur that has already been extracted. It's just a huge mess. One thing I will say, it looks like the guy in the video was applying too much pressure while brushing the cat, that could be why his fur was thinning. And you should also not spend too much time in one area or will irritate your cat's skin

Yes, the Furminator works very well, but I get swatted at a lot. If they roll over, I just do the other side! It works better for shorter haired cats. I don't put as much pressure on it as you did, there is a sharp edge and I am afraid I will cut them. My cats sure get less hair balls, though!

What a sweet cat!

I usually deal with the hair by holding it in my other hand. I just keep adding more and let it ball up in my palm. It compresses very well, and that way it doesn't get everywhere.

Thank you sooo much for this review!!!

He's such a good cat! So laid back and very trusting of you, I think because you seem so nice gentle and calm with him! He reminds me of my Ozzy, he lets me brush him. I'll be brushing for a long time and he'll have had enough he starts to walk away, I'll tell him in a real chill voice... oh come on back Oz we're almost done, please... it feels good, doesn't it and he'll walk real slow, looking back at me I can tell he's thinking about it and within 2 mins. comes back, gives me a look as if to say.... yeah you're right .... he's as good as gold, plops back down, it cracks me up... 😹😺😽 and he's so good letting me cut his nails, he'll get a attitude at first but I just talk to him like he's my little kid, and I hear this inner growl and I'll just talk to him, don't be mad, I'm not hurting you you know I'm almost done and please just wait a minute more oh, you're such a good boy. Okay I'll stop about my cat conversations , but talking to them they understand and they're smart, I stay calm and it keeps him calm. I don't go chasing, yelling get back here. Hey kids are so much smarter than people give them credit for. I guess this is what happens when you live alone LOL but I seen spray on Amazon that helps them from shedding so much I'm thinking it holds their hair down like Hairspray or something I don't know. His fur isn't laying everywhere, it's more like little dust bunnies here and there which isn't bad to deal with. but he never shed as much as since I did this super duper power brushing him 2 days in a row I brushed and every direction for about an hour and I swear I replenished and that the blood flowing into those hair follicles! And it's been hell since I always brushed him. But before you could always come in my house and never walk away with fur on your clothes now it's a different story, the fur is on my couches and I can see loose pieces of fur on him so you pet them and you get a handful of fur yuck. I don't know what happened. it was going to say he got old but why would this happen overnight 🐱 💓💓💓🐾

I had one of these and I can't for the life of me remember where it is... It's a damn good brush that works for dogs and cats alike.

Nice! You just got yourself a second cat :)

Well don't make him bald. If it's summer time that's his winter coat you pulled out. Update: I baught one too. But after the loose hair comes out then you start pulling the rest out. If you want to thin the cats hair in the summer this is ideal. Also you can clean the carpet, the cat towers and other things with this tool. I love it. You can tell if your vaccum is really picking up the hair too. It's worth 25.00 at target.

Although the brush being used performed well, it does not appear to be an actual Furminator. There are several similar types of brushes on the market. I think you will find the Furminator works best. Beautiful cat by the way.

I have one of this. Not sure what's the point? And when to stop? Until the cat is bald?

My cat is a short hair but pudgy (on a diet!). She gets knots on her back she can't reach. This does work BUT not all cats are as chill as this one. We have very short sessions, until she snaps and let's me know she's done, lol. Just FYI if you have a "spirited" cat like me. They don't all love or tolerate it well.

At least with my cat I'd you are doing it with no loose hairs it glides threw super easy. But not to often as you will hurt your cat. My cats tail had the most lolit also cut her fur to be a little shorter.

I want to try this on the horses in spring but I need the big one for dogs lol

that is more hair than the size of the kitty!

I used to have a cat that looks exactly like yours went missing a couple years ago . Probably no surprise he shed too. I loved that thing at first until I realized that brush and brushes like it CUT fur not just loose fur. So to start from square on I got my clippers and took all his fur off. He kinds liked it. It was summer time feel like he enjoyed the lack of fur. Anyway Once his hair started growing back I'd use brushes meant for short hair and gradually went to brushes meant for long hair as long as I brushed his hair about 3 times a week. Shedding was never really an issue. Just couldn't be lazy about it

WoW i should get that it seems better than the glove that i got

I tried it and it was good to use ^_^

Dang! You're brushing the cat hard across bone.

How is the kitty doing !!!

good to brush outside / balcony etc. Birds use the fur to build their nests

Use cotton buds gently get the bits on the edge of your lovely cat or use a wet ball of cotton wool to wipe it out. Doesn't it bother you?

When i use it i barely get any fur, do you have to push hard?

Are you suppose to do this until there's no more fur coming out?

You were pressing to hard on his body, you should lightly run it through their fur not scrape all of the fur out
