I went and created an account just so I could tout this deshedder. I have 2 cats. One is a yellow tabby with short thick hair-it's difficult to deshed him for this reason. The other is a long hair calico kitten, but she has more fur on her than you can imagine! I filled two newspaper sized bags with cat hair between the two of them. This product works great because it doesn't clog itself full of dirt or plain hair, it really does the job of getting to the scalp. As for how the cats like it, it's debatable. The tabby loved it, but the calico soon grew bored and began batting at the device, and then me when she grew tired of that game. However, I think that's a result of her own personality, not the product's harshness on the skin. Definitely worth the investment!

Wow! I don't know how to review this product without sounding like a shill for the company, but I really love it. I have a tuxedo cat, short to medium coat. I have also had cats my entire life, so I am familiar with pretty much all the other products that have been available. I had reached maximum frustration with shedding, and was ready to shell out big $$ for a fancier tool when I saw this thing. For the price difference, I was willing to try it and I am so glad that I did! I got so much fur out of my cat that when DH got home he thought the cat had lost weight. Before this tool, I had had a hard time finding a brush that was as effective as a wire brush but gentle enough not to hurt my cat's skin when used on a daily basis. This thing blew my hopes out of the water on both fronts.The cat purrs and gives me smoothies the whole time I use it. I can brush him until my arm is sore, and he still wants more.

This tool did not work on my long haired maine coons or my short haired tabby. It just sort of glides over their coat. Also the cats try to nip at it, they don't like. Will be returning. I guess I will stick with brushes and combs!

This de-shedding brush was the best one until the furminator came out. It is a lot cheaper and does the job but takes longer to brush your cat.
