> 3 dayI hesitated to buy one of these thinking any brush is a brush is a brush. But my current cat sheds badly - the worst shedding cat Ive ever had, but that isnt her fault. Over the years Ive used a wire brush and a soft brush from Walmart on her and basically had to brush her three or four times a day. Well, I finally broke down and got the FURminator after several friends spoke highly of it. And WOW, what a difference. It gets down to the undercoat where she was shedding from. I can brush her for about 10 minutes every other day with this and she is happy. It works very well. Now, I still brush her with the old brushes for a touch up and if you arent careful you can overuse the FURminator and cause a bald spot. Dont do that. Follow the included instructions. But if you have a cat that sheds primarily from the undercoat, you NEED one of these. It is built well and should last a lifetime if not dropped on hard surfaces.

Greater than one weekWe adopted a small 10lb cat who sheds A LOT - like, fur visibly flying off of her at all times. I wanted a de-shedding tool to get out some of the loose undercoat and got this Furminator sized for Medium/Large Cats. It feels pleasantly heavy and sturdy and the shaped grips feels nice in the hand. Importantly, our cat doesnt mind us using it at all, especially if shes already relaxing. She doesnt like certain types of other brushes weve tried, but she does like this one. I think the short teeth act more like a rake than a brush so it doesnt feel as overstimulating as other brushes can. It pulls up a really good amount of the loose undercoat, and I rarely see any of her top coat getting pulled by it. She has a light grey, soft and fluffy undercoat with a darker top coat so its easy to tell the difference. I use this once or twice a week as long as shell let me use it, or more frequently for just a few brushes. Its important not to use de-shedding tools like this often (and only use them on cats with undercoats) as you can risk pulling up the top coat, too, if used too frequently. If I start to see top coat hairs being pulled I wont use it again for another few days. The ejector button doesnt really do anything, if youre curious about that feature. It slides a silicone piece forward along the metal rake but it doesnt actually push the hair off, so you still have to pull it out yourself. Luckily no big deal.

> 3 dayBoth of my cats disliked being brushed - it would always turn into play time. This brush is a GAME CHANGER. Both cats run to me when I get this brush out. They love it so much more than a regular brush, plus it gets so much hair off of them! I pulled so much hair off of this brush each time I swiped through my cat. I think I emptied it at least 8 times per cat. I already notice a difference in shedding when I pet them! Best $30 I have spent on my babies!!

> 3 dayI have a short-haired cat, but his fur is thick and he sheds a great deal during the late winter and early spring. I thought I had solved the problem by saving up to buy a Roomba (of the kind designed for cat hair), and, indeed, that really helped with keeping the floors free of cat hair. But, there was still the general problem of shedding, and the Roomba couldnt vacuum the furniture or my clothes. The Furminator was recommended to me by a cat breeder with a great deal of experience in grooming cats. I ordered one not expecting too much, but I am very pleased. The Furminator acts almost like a razor (but dont worry; it is not dangerous!) and the excess fur comes off the cat quickly. It is easy to see the results, and even though my cat doesnt really like to be groomed with any tool, this one makes the job much easier and quicker.
