 You've been Furminated! June 26, 2008
I think this product take a few tries.
I got it in the winter.. and it didn't pick up much hair. And I was convinced it was another bum cat product.
But come spring time it started removing lots and lots of hair from my cats. (Maybe my technique has gotten better.. not to mention it is shedding season..)
It definitely picks up more then your average comb or brush.
I would recommend it.
 It definitely removes a lot of hair! June 24, 2008
My long-haired persian kitty HATES to be groomed and mats if you look at her funny, but this is the only product that she has purred to (for a minute at least). It definitely removes a lot of hair from her dense undercoat, and has cut down on her shedding. She also hasn't had any substantial new mats in the three months that I have been using it (in addition to daily grooming). Note that it can't be used until all mats are removed, so its more of a preventative than treatment device if your cat mats easily. Also, make sure you use it in a place that can be cleaned up easily, because you will be coated with clouds of cat fur!
 Great product June 23, 2008

I have a Maine Coon cat that is long haired. And although he doesn't shed all that much on a day-to-day basis, he did have a period of time when it was much worse (one of his bi-annual times for "molting".) And I received the FURMinator just in time. It worked great in removing a lot of excess undercoat when used the first couple of times. Now that the heavy shedding time seems to be past it still gets out the extra hair he'd likely shed & he looks beautiful & feels like silk. I highly recommend this product for all cat owners.
just think,No more shedding!! June 21, 2008

Fur-tastic! June 21, 2008

I have two cats. Lucky had a chronic hairball problem and would cough up hairballs almost daily. I've used slicker brushes in the past. While they removed fur, I still had to vacuum more often than I wanted to. Holding both kitties without getting mass amounts of fur on me was impossible. I had avoided the FURminator because of the cost, but it IS worth it. I assumed that it was just as effective as the slicker brush. After seeing it again in a Pet Store, I decided to purchase one. I had brushed both cats earlier that morning but decided to try it anyway. I was amazed from the first stroke! The amount of fur the FURminator was removing was unbelievable! It seemed as if I had enough fur to create another cat! Lucky tolerated it well but Tigger was a bit skittish with it. He still does not enjoy it as much as Lucky does. I brushed them every 2-3 days at first until there was little fur being removed. Now I brush them only 1-2 times a week. After the first week there was a noticeable reduction in the amount of fur around the house. There is practically no fur on my furniture now & picking the cats up does not leave a lot of fur behind. Also, Lucky stopped coughing up hairballs daily, his hairball problem is almost non-existent.
Things you should know:
1) This is going to remove a lot of the loose undercoat. Don't try to brush it all in one day, it can really irritate your pet's skin. Give your pet a day or two rest in between brushing.
2)Brush in an area that can be easily vacuumed, you're going to have a lot of fur!
3)Brush lightly! Don't use pressure,FURminator can irritate skin. Just rake lightly through your pet's coat. Especially around delicate areas (stomach, genitals, neck, head, etc). DON'T use if pet has matts or sores!
4)I used the Blue FURminator (exactly the same as the purple one for cats, no difference!). This size is good for small to medium cats. My next purchase will be a larger size up since I have large cats.
