Good Product
It works great!! Now how do I get one of my three cats to let me use it?
The other two love it!

Fabulous FURminator
This is an excellent tool! We were constantly battling mats with our long-haired cat, and now we've won. The best part is that he loves to be brushed with this. As another reviewer said, be prepared for the amount of hair that will result from using this, but also be prepared for a smoother, softer, happier cat.

Excellent, but kind of pricey.....
This is one nice brush, and the Cat even seems to enjoy us using it. Very well made and works wonderfully. Was a leap of faith that it would be work the money, but I am glad I jumped.

Better than a brush or comb
I have 2 cats: Cat 1) very thick, straight, medium-length fur; Cat 2) medium thick, coarse, medium-length fur. I usually use a slicker brush or a flea comb to brush them. They are indoor cats and have nowhere else to shed but on our furniture.

I was able to get a lot of fur off Cat 1. He loves to be brushed so he thankfully also liked the Furminator. It also picked up a lot of his dandruff. Made his coat look wonderful. Cat 2 gets a little overstimulated by brushing, so it was hard to make her sit still for Furmination, but she tolerated it enough to get a gob of fur off her, too.

Overall notes:
- If your cat doesn't really like brushing or combing, don't buy this.
- If your cat is medium-sized or big, get a bigger-sized Furminator. I bought the 1.75 inch model specifically for cats, and it took about 20 strokes to go over the back of the cat. Wish I would have bought a bigger one for both cats and dogs to make the work faster.
- Definitely do the Furminating on a hard surface and have the Swiffer near by. The fur goes all over the place.

Great concept!
I have not used the Furminator, however, I do have a "furbuster" that I purchased from Walmart for $13.00 that is identical. It really removes the hair on animals. It works better though on my shorthair cat/dog than on my long haired cats. But their coats are all silky smooth after use!
