Shedding Solutions??

[Felix]

Felix HATES getting brushed,but it needs to be done.He is shedding ALOT! I was wondering if someone knew a good comb/brush to be using on a shorthair cat? What are your hair removel techniques from both the cat and furniture/cloths?

[king2005]

have you tried one of those brush gloves?

It a glove you wear & when you pet the cat it brushes the cat :)

I'll try to find an image of it on google

Im not too sure about the cat one as I dont have a cat living with me, but I find that the kong zoom groom brushes are perfect for my lab, they do a cat version and you could ask in cat general to see if its any good but if its anything like the dog version its great! It massages the cat whilst removing the dead hair

I think its the one I've added to my previous post :) I know it doesn't work very well for my dog but I havent tried it on a cat before :confused:

Oh, didn't know it didn't work well. I thought I heard good things, however I never had the need to use one, cause vacuuming the dog was FAR more fun, loves sucking up his ears HAHAHA He would just give me a dirty look as if to tell me to stop that & get back to vacuuming my sides :rolleyes:

The shedding blade works well. I also brush my cats regularly, even though they HATE it. I corner them, cuddle them, brush them and then give them treats. They sulk for a few hours, but the shedding problems is alleviated - however with cats, it's never done! :rolleyes: :D

The furminator is by far tha best brush I've found so far

I bought something at work tonight called Shed Ender. I am not impressed at all with it, especially for $9. I tried it out on Shortie Girl. I get more fur off of her with my cheap blue plastic flea comb than that thing. It actually looks like an expensive flea comb with metal teeth and rubber grip.

Hey, at least I can tell the customers whether I'd recommend it or not.

The furminator sounds like a good tool, but it better be SUPER for $30.00 plus!

I just used my horses brush on my dog Muffin. she loved it. and it worked wonders.
it looked simiular to what King2005 posted.. the one with the blue rubber spike looking things.
