 A Must for Long Hair Cats July 14, 2007
John (Central NJ)

After 17 years of short haired cats, a starved looking long haired cat decided it was time to leave the streets and move onto my front porch and back deck. A couple of weeks later, she had a name, a clean bill of health and a home -- and I had my first long haired cat. I also had a house full of black and white cat hair. After being told about the FURminator, I ordered the small size (now marketed with a different color handle as a cat model) with more than a degree of skepticism. Boy was I wrong. I use this on Gypsy a couple of times a week and it has eliminated the shedding problem. She enjoys being brushed and the amount of undercoat it removes is simply unbelievable. I demonstrated it to a neighbor with a Maine Coon and she immediately ordered one. Even my 15 year old short hair enjoys being brushed and while not as dramatic as the case of the long haired cat, the amount of fur removed is impressive. In both cases, the cat's coats are left sleek and shiny and they don't have hairball issues. I would advise people to run a flea comb through their cats coat after using the FURminator just to remove all of the dislodged fur.
clouds of cat fur! April 21, 2007

My little kitty has a dense undercoat. I've tried other brushes on her, but they don't do much. Just like the picture on the item, this special comb gets to the undercoat and pulls up clouds of fur. It's not sharp (although you shouldn't rake the kitty with it). The cat enjoyed it, and I'm glad that we tried it outside on the porch rather than in the house . . . use it somewhere where you can sweep up. Remains to be seen if it reduces shedding as advertised, but I can't see what she would have left to shed.
 Should be cheaper for what it is! June 5, 2007

I'm disapointed not in it's functionality but in what the product ACTUALLY IS... This is nothing more than a clipper blade (an Oster A5 blade to be specific) attached to a handle.
I'm not knocking the product at all it works fine I just think the price is extreme when you finally know what it is... a rubberized handle and 1 side of a clipper blade.
And the maker of the product has the bawlz to try to patent that? I do hope some one challenges that and makes a fairer priced version.
Excellent grooming tool for heavy-coated and longhaired cats September 12, 2007

I was sold on the Zoom Groom for all four of my cats til we tried the Furminator on a friend's recommendation. I thought the cost was a lot--but there is a guarantee, so figured the Furminator was worth a try.
My 18 year old Exotic shorthair, Rambo, loved it and he hates just about everything. (He earned his name) He sat still long enough for us to groom a whole cat off of him--and better yet, he doesn't run when one of us picks up the tool.
Our thick-coated tabby also liked the furminator. She tolerates grooming fairly well, but her coat just explodes at shedding time. She'd been recently groomed with the Zoom Groom and still we got a LOT of hair off of her.
Now, my two suede coated Siamese don't care that much for the tool. Heather, who is normally pretty laid back, resisted. We got very little hair off of her--so the Zoom Groom works for her--and she likes it, so we'll stick with it. Same with her brother.
Still, the tool is well worth the price if it will help keep our senior cat clean. he doesn't care for the hairball remedies and grooming is the only preventative we can use.
Thank God for the FURminator! May 6, 2007

Buy this! Whatever you are using on your cat now does not compare to this miraculous tool. I tried quite a few brushes, etc. I was a little turned off by the price, so I was hesistant to buy it. It wasn't until my mom sung the praises of the FURminator that I finally broke down and bought it. She used it with great success on her three cats and two dogs and couldn't imagine being without it. Yes - it's pricier than regular grooming tools - but as I found out, it is worth every penny. I searched around and Amazon offers THE BEST PRICE. Your cat will love getting brushed and you will have a whole let less vacuuming and cleaning! You will be amazed how much hair this pulls off - you will have to use your dust buster afterward, or as the previous reviewer mentioned, you may just want to deshed your kitty outside.
